You stole an idea I had for teaching a course at the Elms College (Chicopee, Mass.) in their Autism Program. Please do make it available on your site! It will give me a great structure around which to work. I was having trouble organizing my thoughts on this topic, and you've done it for me! "Consilience" comes to mind (have your read Edward O. Wilson's thoughts on this?). I would say the stock market analogy is a poor one, and swarm intelligence is more on the right track as to how the brain organizes itself. In any case, many thanks for the article, and Happy New Year! Great article! You stole an idea I had for teaching a course at the Elms College (Chicopee, Mass.) in their Autism Program.

In any case, many thanks for the article, and Happy New Year!
