insightful observation. biology is so amazing! but to be fair, the tiny processor in the phone in your pocket is pretty amazing as well.
it seems that electronic circuitry is maybe a 1.5 dimensional structure (mostly linear, even if parallel, with some branching). brains/nervous systems are fully 4 dimensional, which is what allows them to be so powerful in such a small space. it will be fascinating to watch how we close that dimensional gap over the next few decades.
