Hi,

It is pretty much clear to me now that the seven lamps symbolize the
seven nodes of a learned sequence in memory. I also think I got a
good understanding of the difference between long and short-term
memory. And I think I now understand the meaning of the seven eyes on
one stone. The main question that remains to be answered is this: how
are sequences constructed in memory? There is strong indication in
Zechariah 4:7-9 and Zechariah 6:12-13 that the Branch (Zerubbabel)
has a lot to do with constructing a sequence. Since Zerubbabel is
said to bring forth the "topstone" (Joshua) and not the other stones
(Joshua's friends), it follows that the Branch input connection is
formed prior to the Joshua input connection. I take it that, once the
friends inputs and the Branch are in place, it is then easy to find a
Joshua connection: try a bunch of connections and keep the one that
agrees with the Branch prediction. Problem is, how do friends find
their proper nodes so as to form a sequence? I think that, once I can
answer this question, I will have enough to start coding in earnest.
