[long, off topic info] decussation problem

Decussation has nothing to do with that.  It absolutely
does not matter which side of the brain sends the command
to move away from a noxious stimulus.

I do not understand what you are trying to say.  What is
"a topologically-distributed ratio", and how can it be
minimized by decussation?

May be, may be, but this has nothing to do with the decussation.

Everything within the CNS may be mapped, but mapping is possible
without decussation.

Clarify.  I do not understand what you mean.

Probably correct.

What do you mean?  A rabbit does not understand that it may
be eaten by a wolf?

Hating may be a lot of work.
