Previously Constructed Ordinals

Famous quotes containing the words previously and/or constructed:

    All good things were previously wicked things; every original sin has become an original virtue.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.
    Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)
