Section 5 Architectural constraints imposed by practical considerations
Practical considerations that influence system architectures – the need to limit resources, to change features without interference with existing unchanged features, the need to construct the system etc.; how these practical considerations shape the architecture of electronic systems into some specific forms; why analogous practical considerations acting through natural selection shape the architecture of the brain into specific but qualitatively different forms; why the architectural forms make hierarchies of description for the brain possible
