Book Title Came From A Tweeted Suggestion
- Pessoa tweeted book-title ideas and the community suggested 'Entangled,' which he adopted.
- He chose it because it captures the inseparable, interwoven nature of brain functions.

- Use the organizing principles as guiding checks, not fixed templates when analyzing brain function.
- Ask where time, hierarchy violations, and parallel/feedback processing fit into your interpretation.
Context Decoupling Is Evolution's Trick
- Context sensitivity is a core evolutionary solution: brains decouple inputs from outputs depending on context.
- This makes biological systems richly adaptable but dramatically harder to study under fixed experimental conditions.
