Topographic maps can have neuron circuits [Gutkin et al., 2003]. Circuit-flow waves and local patterns can represent objects and sense qualities {circuit flows and sensations}. Vibrations, accelerations, jolts, eddies, vortexes, turbulence, and streamlining, with varying dimension, frequency, phase, and amplitude, can represent sense intensities and qualities. Different senses have different flow patterns.
Intensity is kinetic energy flow per area in flow longitudinal direction.
Liquid flows have lateral-pressure patterns, liquid pools have transverse waves from wind and forces, and moving charges have transverse magnetic fields. Sense-quality information is in two transverse potential energy (not distance) coordinates. Circuit flows have cross-sectional shapes, like random stereograms hold stereoscopic patterns.
Reticular-formation input starts and sustains circuit flows. Topographic-map circuit elements control, analyze, and modulate flows, using stimuli, feedback, feedforward, or hormones.
