    Ok, so you used 'stored mental entities' to mean 'neural memes.'

    I think there is a subtle difference between 'mental entities' and 'neural
    entities.' I have no idea how one documents 'mental entities' in
    repeatable experiments. 'Neural entities' require repeatable experiments.

    I guess the focus on repeatable neural experiments allows me to ignore the
    'theory of mind' debate. I admit I have and use one, it just shouldn't
    blind me to the implications of repeatable neural experiments.
