Mary I'm enjoying your interpretation too. Bringing up things that I never thought of is a great learining experience.

Liz I agree. I felt like she had to break down the more complicated situations into smaller pieces to “decode”. I am about to reread the book because I want to get a better look at the machine learning taking place. She is much more sophisticated at the end of the book than at the beginning. I want to pay closer attention to how her process works.

Keith Peters That was my interpretation too. Normally, the different parts of her brain function in an integrated fashion, but when there is too much new, unfamiliar input or something very confusing, her brain breaks down that input into different segments, each processed by a different part. Or something like that.

Liam Magheroni if it represents complexity or novelty it seems to be independent of affect (emotions) or feeling overwhelmed. Also it is not clear why they boxes encompass parts of bodies, rather than scenes or interactants, which would make the situation more interpretable.
