On this memory model (Int.J.Mod.Phys.B9(1995)973) I will present a talk
at Tucson II on Friday, April 22. Maybe I will try to write a short note
(abstract like) for quantum-d for those who will not be there.

      on the scientific basis of consciousness, which promises to
      be an extremely stimulating event...
