When neural-net theorists speak of "Distributed
Representation," do they mean distributed in time as well as
space?  To put it another way, is there any such thing as an
"instantaneous" representation in a neural network?

Of course, the outdated idea of a single-cell representation
is to spatial distribution what an instantaneous
representation is to temporal distribution.
