The Pandemonium Software Architecture

This essay, while dealing with computational theory, provides a model for how the brain functions. The Pandemonium Model, where multiple processes try to answer a patter, with a administrative function picking the best answer, provides an excellent model for the environment in which the brain evolved, with useful components being selected over poor or noisy components.

Notes:

Seems like an early design pattern, where a bunch of processes look for patterns of things they can handle, and one jumps at it. Is this like the Delegator Pattern?
