Abstract
The accurate organization of all human activity depends totally upon the validity of the receiving, processing (decoding and encoding), transmitting and monitoring systems within the higher centres of the CNS. This vital ‘processing’ is cognition.
There are no known facts, merely the current theory of the day.
(Carl Popper)
