A
How
is
nothing
I'm
ignoring
this,
so
here's
the
here's
my
take
on?
Why
would
Norris
so
I?
Don't
think
this
is
a
special
problem.
That's
swagger,
Gloria
I,
don't
think
representing.
Nothing
is
a
special
problem
as
far
as
from
the
from
the
sensorimotor
integration
theory
aspect
of
this,
if
there's
nothing
being
sensed
in
a
location,
there's
no
neural
representation
of
that
thing
in
that
space
now
you're
talking
about
I
mean
so.
The
lack
of
a
representation
of
sensory
input
in
a
space
is
essentially
information.
A
It
means
you
haven't
sensed
anything
there
before
so
you
could
make.
The
philosophical
argument
is
nothing
something,
but
let's
not
do
that,
but
as
far
as
the
conceptual
knowledge
of
zero
or
in
mathematics,
especially
of
zero
or
the
concept
of
nothing
being
somewhere,
that's
a
that's
an
abstract
concept,
just
like
any
other
abstract
concept.
So.
B
A
A
B
A
If
we
figure
out
abstract
concepts,
we
figure
out
nothing
how
we
represent
nothing
and
in
the
in
the
other
aspect,
where
you're
imagining
a
space-
and
you
know,
there's
nothing
in
the
middle
that
space
I
think
that's
hard
for
me
to
grasp
I,
don't
or
maybe,
if
you're,
getting
into
a
weird
area,
where
you're
applying
your
conceptual
knowledge
into
a
physically
represented
space.
You
know
I,
don't.
B
There
is,
there
was
the
part
I,
don't
know,
I
think
it
was
Marcus
when
you,
when
you
come
to
play
to
pick
up
the
Romantica
and
it
has
a
an
ear.
There
is
the
space
between
the
ear
and
there's
also
the
space
inside
the
cup
there
and
some
people
said.
Are
there
points
represented
in
the
grid
space
that
are
part
of
the
cup,
but
I
actually
presented
nothing
and
I
thought.
A
A
There's
there's
definitely
a
grid
space
representing
that
area,
the
objects
reference
frame,
there's
a
grid
space
representing
the
area
of
space
six
feet
away
from
the
cop.
You
know
your
grade.
Your
grid
field
mechanism
applies
to
all
spaces
so
like,
if
there's
a
gap
in
the
cup,
there's
definitely
a
grid
cell
activation
that
represents
every
location
within
that
gap,
even
if
there's
nothing
there,
but
the
way
you
represent
knowledge
is
by
combining
that
grid
space
representation
with
sensory
input
that
you
have
collected
over
time.
A
A
B
A
Why
you're
in
cells
won't
your
grid
cells
are
just
representing
the
location
of
the
feature
and
then
in
another
layers,
where
you
get
bursting
happening
with
the
combination
of
sensor
and
location,
that's
where
the
nursing
occurs.
The
grid
cells
contribute
to
that,
but
they're,
okay,
yeah,
okay,
so.
B
A
Think
it
is
especially
not
in
HTM
30
you're,
not
expecting
nothing,
you're,
just
you're,
just
not
making
predictions
great
when
you're
not
making
predictions
you're
expecting
nothing,
essentially
so
in
HTML
a
as
you
move
your
finger
through
something
if,
if
I
felt
something
here
before
I
mean
if
I
felt
something
in
the
socket
reference
frame
before
I'll
have
predictions
occurring
ahead
of
me
and
time.
That
is
saying
this
yourself.
You're
gonna
feel
this.
A
But
if,
for
some
reason,
I
don't
get
any
sensory
information,
those
predictions
will
be
wrong
and
you
and
they'll
go
away
right.
They
won't
burst,
will
just
be
wrong
and
they
won't
be
reinforced.
You
won't
feel
anything
now
if
you're
moving
through
a
space
and
you're,
not
feeling
anything,
there's,
no,
there's
no
prediction.
So
if
you've
met
if
you're
moving
through
space
and
you've
never
felt
anything
in
that
space
before
you
won't
have
predictions,
that's
nothing
you're,
just
not
predicting
you're
going
to
feel
anything.
B
B
It's
not
supposed
to
be
there.
Then
then
you
know
that
where
it
was
empty
now
there
is
something
and
you're
saying
hey.
This
is
not
to
remember.
No,
this
is
something
changed,
so
this
empty
space
is
this
empty
line
that
should
never
be
there.
Isn't
that
also
part
of
the
event
alone?
The
emptiness
I'm
not
sure
I'm,
just
yeah.
A
I
understand
but
but
I
don't
think
so
I
mean
you
can
you
can
think
of
it
that
way,
but
then
I
don't
know.
I
would
only
I
only
think
the
brain
is
representing
what
did
senses,
not
what
it
doesn't
sense
and
the
structure
of
the
world
constructs
itself
out
of
those
sensory
inputs.
That's
that's
how
so
we're
not
always
constructing
empty
space
in
our
bottles,
we're
just
constructing
what
we
have
sensed
now.
