The Bottleneck a New Perspective

In the past there have been two main theories about the nature of the bottleneck, The first, predicated on the concept of a Production System, assumed a size limit to the Short Term Memory, and the Second, The approach taken by the Global Workspace Theory, assumed a Bandwidth limit to the Network connecting the elements of the mind. In this article I introduce a third theory, predicated on the characteristics of the Phenomenal Implicit Memory, which blames the bottleneck on the need to redescribe a phenomenally implicit memory in order to make it accessible. The problem with using computer models to implement implicit memory is the temptation to cheat and use the memory addressing of the computer, as a result, a paradigm shift is missed that is important to understand the nature of human memory.
