addendum

one more thought:

Although I was intially uncomfortable with the fact that Paul makes up his own words to call things (!), cables, boxes, stories, I function, central pattern generator) , I have come to see that it is a really useful way to explain concepts to us/students. However, if I am having a conversation with someone who does not use this vocabulary, it would be really handy if I knew what word he/she was using to refer to the same process/structure. So even though I completely buy into the new vocabulary, I'd like to hear, as we go along, how "normal" people refer to some of these things!
