Universality: same features form across networks and brains

Universality is the observation that the same features and circuits form again and again across different neural networks — and even across artificial and biological networks (curve detectors, Gabor filters, high-low-frequency detectors found in both models and animals; a dedicated Donald Trump neuron in every vision model) — suggesting natural categories in the universe.
