The Brain Revolution requires a substantial change in widely accepted theories and concepts. Our
beliefs and other representations need to be reconceived as patterns of activation in neural
populations, which requires understanding them as processes rather than things. Inference is a neural
process involving parallel interactions among neural populations, not just a step-by-step linguistic
procedure. Most generally, minds and selves need to be conceived as processes operating in relation
to the world and other minds, not just as things. Shifting to understanding the world in terms of
relational processes rather than things and simple properties has been a major part of the
development of science, as in Newton's recognition that weight is a relation between objects, and the
recognition of thermodynamic theory that heat is a process of motion of molecules.
