   Finding Palatable Relations in the World to Match our Appetites
	
			       Abstract

	I  will take a close look   at the interface  between culinary
language and palate-based cognition, at  the structure of food groups,
and at the  processes we use to pick   a theme that  describes a given
configuration of  foodstuffs.    The  resulting  picture  of  culinary
language use will  explain how a few  lexical terms, in concert with a
shared  perceptual and cognitive geometry  and topology, can provide a
system rich enough to communicate  with precision about the locations,
shapes, orientations, and paths of  free lunches.  The effectivness of
this  means of communication  will   be  demonstrated   in  a lab-wide
experiment on Friday December 7th.  All  parties to this communication
should assemble in the normal location at the appointed time.


Hosts: Lynne Parker, Ivan Bachelder, and Amnon Shashua.
