A quote from Plato's Camera, P. M. Churchland, 2012.

"The real issue is whether a vector-coding, Hebbian-updating, activation-space-sculpting, concept-redeploying, world-representing, paradigm-expanding system broadly like ours can reasonably hope to get an increasingly accurate grip on the nature of objective reality." --Paul Churchland, Plato's Camera

He really is a very good writer. I'm quoting this out of context because it's unusually chewy and dense, but he sets it up really well. If you read everything in the book before this sentence, it makes perfect sense.

Good fiction does that too, creating scenes and references that are opaque or seemingly mundane in isolation but take on meta-layers when you come to them through the earlier narrative.

I think Paul Churchland has infected me with hyphenation. I hope it will be a mild case.
