Why not cortico-cortico loops? All the options are on the table, we know so very little.
Selectivity is v hard to come by in the cortex alone. As Braitenberg argued over 20y ago, it's basically a big associative memory network that almost certainly inherits it's functional prowess from its subcortical connections. Like the trust fund baby of the brain ;)

Gotcha. I'm clearly still stuck in the Braitenberg hole I fell into a few weeks ago. Still can't get my head around how far ahead he could see...
What about selectivity for rules?
I don't know that literature v well, but my guess is that there are likely major subcortical systems that play a demonstrative role in the process.
What do you mean by demonstrative Maco?
Along the lines of what James Houk called 'forcing functions'
