(To certain people: Skip apart from last sentence.)

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

>Generally speaking, "visual" 
Apart from that I know that there is seeing and "seeing", why do you
use "  "?

Wouldn't mind the long version on that, either.

Question marked theories?

Talking about which (or should I say "what"s?), if a company  with red
cans and white writing is imitating Coca Cola  or if playing the cloud
game of making them into sheep or mountains and pulling wrong
"identifier cards",  where in the brain is that?
I know nearly nothing about the temporal cortex. Is there anything in
there to do with such?

How does data go from the occipital cortex to me?

I do not know dorsal and ventral.
If I put one hand sideways (thumbs downwards) outside over  the
occipital cortex and the other over the parietal one 
then how deep inside from there?

"Too lazy to cognito, ergo sum" ... but it can't mean thinking because
the Westie branches never got that the sequencer and oneself can
think.
Been wondering for a while what cognitive means?

How high are chances that there are new folks who did not get that
yet, and need to immediately get it, for else they might not feel as
well?


... I guess apart from some stuff within magic and that stage I
mentioned towards the person who said that he can't recall past stuff,
I do not find according where-what matches at first vague try, but
then again inside me I don't know much about the occipital and
parietal cortex or stuff in the back half of the head in general 
and sequencer areas.

Not expressed correctly, but with you that does not matter for me
(charming as always ;-), and the long version might be to many hours
of babbling:

"The CPUs" of me and the sequencer both "have" "where and what",
but in different ways.
