...wait-a-minute, I can domuch better than that... the "engram" is distributed... and the 
distributed engram can, even now, be specified =exactly= ...this exactness exists in the 
neural activation "state" =convergence= dynamics... which always coincide with TD E/I 
minimization as I've discussed it in prior msgs...

...good grief! I fell into the falsehood of speaking of a "specifically-localized" 
("non-distributed") memory trace... no such thing exists...

...so I retract my agreement with Colleen, and revert to the (verifiably-correct) position 
I'd discussed in a prior msg... K. P. COllins
