Synopsis:
- A Darwinian process in the brain finds the best thought from the many that are continuously produced
- Cerebral code (the equivalent of genetic) allows for reproduction and selection of thoughts
- A neural pattern copies itself repeatedly around a region of the brain
- "Thoughts" compete and evolve subconsciously
- Dreaming occurs all the time but we can't see them when we are awake
- Our actual thought is simply the dominant pattern in the copying competition
- Circuits in the cerebral cortex act as copying machines
- Variants compete for cortex space
