However, if you’re like me, you probably aren’t quite comfortable with Miller’s rejection of bits as the information currency of the brain.
What if “system 2” is like a register machine with 4 pointer-storing registers / slots / tabs, 2 per hemisphere? (Peter Carruthers “The Centered Mind”.) I don’t reject information processing, but rather consider “working memory” to be a misnomer. The brain does not implement memcpy.
