Firing frequency and Plastizity (some thoughts on)

When you define different firing frequencies or frequency dividers for the neurons, then you build up distinct channels for communication between neurons, especially when it comes to 'fire together, wire together'.

Let's say, we only use fixed point dividers (multipliers) for the frequencies. A neuron on channel 1 (divider = 1) can fire together and interconnect with all other neurons. A neuron firing with a prime number as it's frequency divider will only see other neurons from the same channel and multiple of this channel and from channel 1.

Channel 1 could mean: This is live sensor data, process with high priority
Channel 4 could mean: This is long term information
Channel 8 could mean: This is short term memory

Long and short term information can catch all events from live data.
Both interact only a little (each 4th iteration)

This way, visual data could be separated from audio data, left ear from right ear, and so on.
This also solves the big problem of circular references, without using a supervising authority.
