What I'm after here is to see the reductionist and materialist way that we think of brains, knowledge, information, intelligence, memory, etc and the limits we then place on ourselves when we approach such ideas as corporate or social knowledge and intelligence. The idea of storing learning as though it were a thing, misses most of the dynamic possibilities and leads to cumbersome, large databases which turn out not to be very useful compared to the intentions and imagined possibilities. To go a bit further. To speak loosely and somewhat metaphorically, one access does not trigger one memory but many and, from the combinations involved, generates a memory which is applicable to the circumstances and intention. What comes forward from memory has been at best triggered rather than accessed whole in any way.
Intelligence is the underlying organisational principle of the universe.
