%X In this toy model of the simplest form of categorization performed by neural
                               nets, CP effects arise as a natural side-effect of the way these particular nets
                               accomplish categorization. Whether the CP effect is universal or peculiar to
                               some kinds of nets (cf. Grossberg 1984), whether the nets' capacity to do
                               simple one-dimensional categorization will scale up to the full
                               multidimensional categorization capacities of human beings, how the
                               grounded labels of these sensory categories are to be combined into strings of
                               symbols that function as propositions about higher-order category
                               membership, and how the nonarbitrary "shape" constraints these symbols
                               inherit from their grounding will affect the functioning of such a hybrid symbol
                               system remain questions for future research. If these results can be
                               generalized, however, the "warping" of analog similarity space may be a
                               significant factor in grounding.
