Contribution to CWM
Gabor's holographic storage concepts mapped to CWM's distributed encoding. The key finding: holographic redundancy does transfer (each mode carries information about the whole), but holographic reconstruction does not (CWM is spectral, not spatial). This partial kill clarified CWM's encoding uniqueness.
