Title: A (Somewhat) New Solution to the Binding Problem

Overview:
To perform automatic, unconscious inference, the human brain must solve the "binding problem" by correctly grouping properties with objects. We propose a connectionist, localist model that uses short signatures, rather than temporal synchrony or other means, to do this binding. The proposed system models our ability to both perform unification and handle multiple instantiations of logical terms, among other things. To verify its feasibility, we simulate our model with a computer program modeling simple, neuron-like computations.
