Godel, Escher, Bach - Hofstadter

2000

"Thus, on the one hand, we can drop all hopes of finding exactly isomorphic software in humans, but on the other, it is clear that some people think more alike than others do. It would seem an obvious conclusion that there is some sort of partial software isomorphism connecting the brains of people whose style of thinking is similar-in particular, a correspondence of (1) the repertoire of symbols, and (2) the triggering patterns of symbols." (P.375-377)
