Must be Iconic

"Experience is not possible until it is organized iconically; action is not possible unless it is organized iconically. ‘Th brain’s record’ of everything—everything alive—must be iconic. This is the final form of the brain’s record, even though the preliminary form may be computational or programmatic. The final form of cerebral representation must be, or allow, ‘art’—the artful scenery and melody of experience and action."
