The Giant Hippocampus: From Structural Monoculture to a System of Systems
AI researchers describe state-of-the-art models as one thing repeated at scale: the Transformer, wired identically for text, pixels, or speech. Neuroscientists describe the cortex as a mosaic - dense Layer 4 in visual cortex for spatial encoding, thick Layers 5/6 in motion cortex for temporal integration - different jobs solved by different structures. This paper argues the gap is a structural error, not a stylistic one, and is measurable. A century of cytoarchitecture, from Brodmann to single-c
