Perhaps Hemon's success is due to its unclassifiability. Even to himself. Freed by uncertainty, strangeness.

Chialvo suggests that natural occurring neural networks (biological brains and such) pay more attention to un-accommodated situations (information) rather than well-known situations (or information). Because, if it was the other way, the system would tend to specialisation; in other words, loss of information, closure to the outside world.
