Diagram showing a symbolic representation of how the basic unit of the percept is formed within the cortical columns. Note that the lateral borders of the cortical columns enclosing the inter-postsynaptic functional LINK are represented by lateral walls of the cylindrical shape. This functional perimeter limits the number of inter-LINKed and inter-LINKable postsynapses at a given neuronal order. a Illustration showing the first stimulus activating sensory receptor set labeled A 1 inducing the formation of the semblion marked Csemb; b illustration showing the second stimulus activating the sensory receptor set labeled C 1 inducing the formation of the semblion marked A semb; c the two sensory stimuli originate from infinitesimally close locations on the object. The simultaneous arrival of stimuli at the sensory receptors A 1 and C 1 can activate the inter-postsynaptic functional LINK from both sides inducing semblions at both inter-LINKed postsynapses B and D. The integral of these two semblions can form the basic unit of the percept called percepton
