"It \r\nis proposed that the ability of humans to flourish in diverse \r\nenvironments and evolve complex cultures reflects the following two \r\nunderlying cognitive transitions. The transition from the \r\ncoarse-grained associative memory of Homo habilis to the \r\nfine-grained memory of Homo erectus enabled limited \r\nrepresentational redescription of perceptually similar episodes, \r\nabstraction, and analytic thought, the last of which is modeled as \r\nthe formation of states and of lattices of properties and contexts \r\nfor concepts. The transition to the modern mind of Homo \r\nsapiens is proposed to have resulted from onset of the capacity to \r\nspontaneously and temporarily shift to an associative mode of thought \r\nconducive to interaction amongst seemingly disparate concepts, \r\nmodeled as the forging of conjunctions resulting in states of \r\nentanglement. The fruits of associative thought became ingredients \r\nfor analytic thought, and vice versa. The ratio of \r\nassociative pathways to concepts surpassed a percolation threshold \r\nresulting in the emergence of a self-modifying, integrated internal \r\nmodel of the world, or worldview."^^ .
