Rather, we "tokenize" it and recreate the scene when we perform the act of remembering. This can, and often does, lead to faulty memories, as the correspondence of token to reality is constantly being revised. This is one of the reasons eyewitness reports are being proven so unreliable. -- Michael Ward, NCAR/SCD UUCP: {hplabs,nbires,brl-bmd,seismo,menlo70,stcvax}!hao!ward BELL: 303-497-1252 USPS: POB 3000, Boulder, CO 80307
