The Distributed Nature of the Immune System
The nature of distributed neuronal processing immediately draws you to questions about functional brain architectures. And the immediate thing that jumps out at you is the particular sparsity structure which is essential for having mark off blankets. One important instance of this sort of partitioning that, inherits from the spars connectivity, is a hierarcical structure. If it's the case that the ponotype just is or entails a generative moral of its lived world, then you'ld expect the spars structure, the nature of the distributed processing, to recapitulate the conditional dependences in the world that its trying to model. But i'm sure angeli woll tell me off if i've got it
