Abstract: The arguments for the orderly output constraint concern phylogenetic matters and do riot address the ontogeny of combination specific neurons and the corresponding processing mechanisms. Locus equations are too variable to be strongly predetermined and too inconsistent to be easily learned. Findings on the development of speech perception and underlying auditory processing must be taken into account in the formulation of neural encoding theories.
