    Yes, thanks for the list. But I'm still not clear about exactly why we are
    supposed to derive _meaning_ from what/where distinctions, given that these
    are only known (so far) to be devices for organizing visual and possibly
    auditory sensory input. The reason I labour this so much is that it seems
    to be a central plank of your theory, and unless it is established firmly,
    it is difficult to get much further. Which of the books, articles etc you
    cite specifically pertain to the what/where distinction?, and which of them
    do you see as supporting your theory, and specifically how?
