'''Neural modeling field''' (NMF) theory mathematically implements the [[mind mechanisms]] including [[concepts]], [[emotions]], [[instincts]], [[imagination]], [[thinking]], [[understanding]], [[language]], interaction between [[language and cognition]], [[the knowledge instinct]], [[conscious]], [[unconscious]], [[aesthetic emotions]] including [[beautiful]] and [[sublime]]. NMF provides a foundation for modeling [[evolution of languages, consciousness, and cultures]].
NMF is a multi-level, hetero-hierarchical system <ref>Perlovsky, L.I. 2001. Neural Networks and Intellect: using model based concepts. New York: Oxford University Press.</ref>. The [[mind]] is not a strict hierarchy; there are multiple feedback connections among adjacent levels, hence the term hetero-hierarchy. At each level in NMF there are [[concept-models]] encapsulating the mind’s knowledge; they generate so-called [[top-down signals (top-down neural signals)|top-down signals]], interacting with input, [[bottom-up signals (bottom-up neural signals)|bottom-up signals]]. These interactions are governed by the [[knowledge instinct]], which drives [[concept-model]] learning, adaptation, and formation of new [[concept-models]] for better correspondence to the input, [[bottom-up signals (bottom-up neural signals)|bottom-up signals]].
