Generalised Pandemonium Architecture Clusters / GPACs : a simple model of cognition in individuals and in groups

Politics in groups, and thought in individuals ... are both modeled very well under a generalisation of Selfridge's Pandemonium Architecture / GPA ( to all modalities of data, visual or otherwise ). GPAs are often sub-clustered/moduled, as it is a nature optimisation of chaotic systems to form boundary layers between localities. We can call the clusters GPACs as a convenience.

In human thought, ontology, or the consideration of what exists in a conscious buffer, may be trained to be the production of one GPAC. Ethics, or the consideration of what to do about that, may be trained to be the production of another GPAC. Of course, these are flexible structures, and in many times we just glomp the two considerations together, which is a less pristine way of thinking.

Now in daily speech, we often have separate GPACs for the sensory formation of what we want to talk about, and for the verbalisation of sentences about what we want to talk about. Each of these GPACs is of course, potentially sub-clustered furthermore.
