Why are you saying it's beside the point? It is exactly the point. If 
you can agree with that simplified diagram, good, so now, in terms of 
that diagram, or extending it any way you like, how do we show what 
'grounding' is? I suppose that's what I want, a graphical representation 
of what you mean by 'grounding', incorporating these links.

Never mind LMMs, for the moment, I just want an understanding of this 
'grounding' concept, as it applies to a human mind, in terms of the 
brain's functioning. Preferably in a nice, simplified diagram similar to 
mine.
