From: "Noam Chomsky" To: "Jeffrey E." <[email protected]> Subject: RE: FW: gromov Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2015 23:59:19 +0000 Whatever memory is, it is doubtless something with neural representation. Whether it makes sense to think of it as a distinct biological object, a module of the cognitive/neural architecture, I don't know. The mapping of light to mental constructs is similar to the mapping of sound to mental constructs at the abstract level of architectural-computational analysis, as in the modularity discussions — Marr's computational level. Language however is crucially different. It's not an input system. The rest is fascinating, but I have only a dim grasp of it. From: jeffrey E.

BTW It was not until the 1920's and the spread of the automobile that home mortgages outnumbered farm mortgages. In the 1930's, the mortgage industry got a huge assist from the feds — not from the tax deduction, but from agencies like the Federal Housing Administration, which insured 30-year loans, banking and the financial system is a complex subject. banks can lend money , create money, buy other bank paper creating more paper. than borrow against that paper. loans , purchases repo agreements, credit default swaps. interest. supply, exchange rates. accounting balance sheets , income statements. assets and libilitties , both actual and contingent. few of the above are
