Tangentially related book recommendation: Jeff Hawkins, A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence. It describes the importance of reference frames for intelligence, for locating limbs relative to the body, locating the body in space, locating objects in space (even abstract objects in abstract spaces), and a possible "implementation" of that in the columns of the neocortex (by, basically, if I understood correctly, positing certain neurons that encode location, eg via intersection of coordinates, and certain neurons that encode features, and then learning a connection between those). A short and interesting read (with quite some implications for progress in AI).
