It's a great point. And I agree that precision in stars or mechanics seems much simpler than neuroscience -- but I do actually think that there will be some laws akin to f=ma. Ok, maybe not quite to that level. But consider this paper, by great neuroscientists and cited over 1000 times, that models brain wave bands as harmonics, with band widths as the golden mean. [1, see figure 4] My money is on some synthesis of the many theories in oscillatory neurodynamics. Neural resonance, dissonance, harmonics and entrainment... So many of the theories* have borne out empirically, but there has hardly been an attempt at synthesis. * Theories like "Communication through coherence", "binding by synchrony", "phase amplitude coupling" + "working memory", etc etc etc. [1] Klimesch, W.
