For features arranged along an activation arc, Tom McGrath says nearby features will probably coactivate, whereas widely separated features will essentially never coactivate.

“there's kind of an arc of stars now my essay one essay feature will kind of point out through some point in that arc and another essay feature will point out through another point in that arc and so on and the thing you should realize is that this will actually induce”

“quite strong patterns in the coactivations of features you know if i have two features that are close together on the arc they will probably coactivate whereas if i have two features which are far away they will essentially never coactivate you know if i say that i have like the days of the week um let's give a continuous example let's say that it's like color red to blue um if something is blue it is not red”
