By the way, what do you mean "holographic" nature of intelligence. I don't understand what you are trying to imply with this term.
"Holographic" is used as an analogy to image holograms in that picture elements are the interference of different parts and the loss of any part only causes a uniform degredation in the whole not a complete loss of isolated elements. For instance, a memory of grandma burning the rolls at thanksgiving isn't a single memory of grandma burning the rolls at thanksgiving, its a memory of the intersection of
where each of these words is associated with a concept. I tried to group it lisp-style to elucidate the groupings/interferences. The loss of any of the connections does not misplace all of the memory (loss of longterm memory through trauma, alzeimers is the exception) but will only degrade it slightly. This is used in some neural nets to reduce storage space and it already has an associative network in place. The groupings above would be the strongest connections to the particular search element with the stored abstract concepts.
And at a different scale, apparently the DSL circuits in Blacksburg, VA (a place which liked to claim it was "the most wired town in America" not long ago) are now full, and turning away residential customers.
In the big city of blacksburg (14,000 full time residents and 25,000 Virginia Tech students) the majority of people that are in the area already have broadband, either on campus or as an ethernet connection from their appartment to the campus network. I'm not sure what kind of connection the campus has but it is nice. Cable access is picking up any slack that is left by any dsl problems. As a matter of fact my appartment building is getting wired for cable internet access later this month. (Whoo hoo! No more 56k!)
