"Reflecting", radically carried out, can mean nothing else than folding the course of thoughts into a Möbius strip. And the Möbius dizziness is experienced by everyone who tries to think about something (whatever) radically. Maybe this is connected with the fact that we think with two hands, back and forth between the right and the left one. But the two hands can only be brought to coincide with each other in the fourth dimension, by a möbius-like rotation. Much easily this is
Parallel Distributed Models have several appealing qualities. They are based on four basic properties of distributed representations: …
From the first two properties it follows that the Representations can reflect the Meanings of the Concepts for which they stand. Because they are continuous, it is possible to represent shades of meaning, and category memberships become a matter of degree.
* Conceptual Hierarchy ⇒ Stateful Traits > **Traits make it possible for inheritance to be used to reflect conceptual hierarchy rather than for code reuse.** Duplicated code can be factored out as traits, rather than being jimmied into a class hierarchy in awkward locations. At the same time, traits largely avoid the fragility problems introduced by approaches based on **Multiple Inheritance** and **Mixins**, since traits are entirely divorced from the inheritance hierarchy.
