......In a sparse distributed network - memory is a type of
perception.....The act of remembering and the act of perceiving both
detect a pattern in a vary large choice of possible patterns....When we
remember we recreate the act of the original perception - that is we
relocate the pattern by a process similar to the one we used to
perceive the pattern originally.

Somehow human noises initiate similar non-verbal/syntaxic- memories and
experiences. If the act of remembering and the act of perceiving both
detect a pattern in a vary large choice of possible patterns and when
we remember we recreate the act of the original perception - that is we
relocate the pattern by a process similar to the one we used to
perceive the pattern originally, then these noises of language gain
dualistic access to the pathways experience travels and is translatable
into those experience.
