Chapter 8 - Trion Model and Symmetries

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the Trion model. The resultant trion model is a guide into the complexities of the cortex. However, it has led to new concepts and insights into how one think, reason, and create, which have led to behavioral and neurophysiological experiments testing the predictions from the model. Thus far all the results from these experiments have been supportive of the model. The chapter begins with the history of studies related to brain theory. It illustrates Roulette analogy for a Monte Carlo or full probabilistic calculation of time evolutions of the trion model. It also present the key features of symmetry in the trion model. Furthermore, it discusses the recognition of spatially rotated and time-reversed objects in the trion model. This recognition of symmetry is built into the highly structured trion model. Much more work on the trion model, both computationally and then analytically, is necessary before more detailed features of the proposed cortical language and grammar can be discerned. However, testable neurophysiological predictions can be made.
