Not in your brain, but as a theory. The competitive architecture underlying the
'battleground of ideas' is borrowed from computer science and artificial neural
networks. And that was my point - to date, I am unaware of any evidence for
competitive generic cortical structure.

I gave a reference for this, but there are so many relating to so many
functions that maybe a book is better. I seem to remember, Imaging the Brain,
as a good starter in this direction. For most functions: listening, thinking,
visualizing, etc., multiple places in the brain become active. This is true for
EEG through fMRI. And the point was that we use much of our brains much of the
time, and that competitive themes don't work when spanned across different
functional specializations throughout the brain.

Unworkable.
Good luck with understanding, so should it be with everyone. It has yet to be
seen if a human brain has the capacity to understand itself fully, but I for
one will try.
