Uniframing doesn't always work. Result: collections of examples. Why does this difficulty emerge? Because of the many-to-one relationship between structures and function. Why is this a problem? Cognitive economy -- examples are hard to reason with. "When we try to reason about things, accumulations can be nuisances -- because then we'll be forced to find a different argument or explanation to justify each separate example."
"A simpler theory of when we start new uniframes would be that in the brain, there is an architectural constraint on how many K-lines are directly accessible to various types of agents." (NB: Does this then mean that uniframes are K-lines between agents?)
(NB: Note that accumulation is the second learning strategy, after uniframing, so a second member of the cast has been introduced. Q: Given the many-to-one problem, are uniframes even possible?)
