I love the concept of "Human Cognition as Spider Web" analogy, because it certainly explains why I have, err, drastically faster synaptic response, recall, free association, and occasional synesthesia than most people I meet. Essentially a fiber optic network that needs a Controller of sorts (conscious mind) and a Library (long term memory) and bam, anywhere you want to go and anything available is nearly instantaneously available. That's when the "Dead Ends" and creative association kick in, funneling the energies downstream. A lot of what gives this perception validity, to me, is the scientific research and discoveries regarding the elasticity and compensation dynamics of an injured brain. Sure, there are some basic paint-by-numbers functions (ex: sympathetic nervous?), but regarding the grey-matter and our notion of consciousness, it's a much more distributed, almost holographic model...or, just a really kick-ass web of energy and information... In turn, this is why I hope when my mortal battery finally drains or gets shut off, my energy thingy rolling around in my human noggin can return to the Universal source from which it shoved it into this meatbag.
