Dog Pulling on a Belt:
“Now we can take off our belt and dangle it in front of a little dog and the little dog will seize the belt in his mouth and will start pulling and you play a game with him. He plays beautifully. He’ll play tension and compression with you. And his teeth with convex and concave surfaces get into play, his action and his reaction are going on without his knowing it. And his protons and his neutrons are all coordinating without his knowing it. There’s nothing in our experience with the little dog that suggests he would ever develop the theory of functions. What we are able to say is that brain is always and only dealing with special case experiences.”
