Summary: The probability that a system should have an equilibrium cannot be deduced from the probabilities of the parts being in equilibrium. The case where they combine as a product is likely to be common and important but it must be introduced as a specific postulate.
Cortex, sensory layering in
Dispersion and layering in
Summary: The layering of the cerebral cortex may be explained as required for wide distribution.
