According to Hofstadter what is the theme of the book G��del, Escher, Bach?
In response to confusion over the book's theme, Hofstadter emphasized that G��del, Escher, Bach is not about the relationships of mathematics, art, and music���but rather about how cognition emerges from hidden neurological mechanisms. One point in the book presents an analogy about how individual neurons in the brain coordinate to create a unified sense of a coherent mind by comparing it to the social organization displayed in a colony of ants.
