Spatial distribution is inadequate
Physical distribution of symbolic representations in memory doesn't afford the right kind of damage tolerance. Representations must be internally distributed in a connectionist activitation pattern rather than merely physically distributed in memory.
Nick Chater & Mike Oaksford (1990).

Note: For more on connectionist representations see the "Can connectionist networks exhibit systematicity?" arguments on Map 5.
