The Hippocampus Encodes Distances in Multidimensional Feature Space

When you said “time container” I don’t think I understood you. I thought you were saying that movements were defined together in some type of time context, and cannot be mutated in time individually.

There is a motion in my brain (you might call it an affordance) associated with hitting a drum with a stick. I can play this affordance at any speed. I can hit the drum quickly or slowly by warping the time of the motion.

I also have an affordance associated with stomping on a bass drum pedal. This is a completely different affordance, associated with different sensory areas, but I am able to play this motion at different time scales as well.

I can play both these affordance sequences in time at different timescales simultaneously. This is tricky for some people, but drummers do this all the time (esp. jazz drummers).
