Re: kickoff

Dear Koichiro,

Thanks a lot for the very elegant 'primer'. For my taste, in a couple of
paragraphs (below), you have encapsulated the whole fis mission. My
question (unfortunately have had no time to read carefully John's and
Andrei's yet, what I promise to do this weekend) is about the extent to
which, in your opinion, we are advancing towards the collective synthesis.
Ted was openly optimistic weeks ago... Personally I think that in between
'Darwin' and 'Adam Smith' principles (fitness and utility) we are still
missing a central arch for the theoretical info bridge. Curiously Ramón y
Cajal attempted a principle of 'brain bookeeping economy' 100 years ago,
but has received little attention). Your posting strongly reminds me on
that missing arch... (it reminds Leyton's neurodynamics and
neurosymmetries too)
