Dynamic sequences of Discrete Results are the mechanism used by the cortex to perform computations. Different sequences of Discrete Results codify different content. In this example, both types of predator trajectories involve different sequentially activated Discrete Results. One sequence codifies the predator approaching and the other leaving. By computing the successive Discrete Results in the sequence the prey’s cortex is allowed to extract predator trajectory in order to respond appropriately.
