Separate Categories

Famous quotes containing the words separate and/or categories:

    “How separate and unearthly love is,
    Or women are, or what they do,
    Or in our young unreal wishes
    Seem to be: synthetic, new,
    And natureless in ecstasies.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “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)
