Activation sequence for spatial term and reference object selection in Demonstration 4. Panel (a) shows the objects in the camera input. Panel (b), the green highlighter is defined as the target object (whose position is to be described) by activating the green node and boosting the target field. Panel (c), both the spatial relation nodes and the object-centered field are boosted. The semantically structured activation profiles in the object-centered field are then transmitted through the transformation field to the reference object field. Panel (d), reference field boost leading to the selection of a reference object location. Panel (e), boosts of both the color and spatial term nodes. The boost of the color term nodes leads to the selection of the blue node (box) as the reference object identifier. The boost to the spatial term nodes leads to the selection of the left node (box) as the target object's relation to the blue reference object.
