So what do you get when you try to be weird?<br>

One idea that has been rattling around my head: another core system.
Kinzler and Spelke have argued that we have a few evolved "core
systems" in the brain that handle objects, agents, number, geometric
properties and maybe social relations rapidly and efficiently. What
if we added a core system for dynamical systems theory, making us
able to "see" bifurcations, attractor states, and do chaos control?<br>
