This is one of those thoughts that someone takes a long time to write because they want to share something they’re really passionate about and for whatever reason felt a moment of inspiration. Then no one reads it because it’s on such a different wavelength than the rest of discourse on HN that they simply don’t have the tools to add anything to the discussion. Then the OP freaks out and delete the message - well, I have a few times at least.
Anyway, this was really interesting stuff. I haven’t a clue if it’s just weird new age fractals and crystals stuff, or if you’re describing something that goes way past our present day simplistic models of the brain being a nation of neurons, each responsible for a different function.
Thanks for sharing!
- IIAOPSW 5y agoThe short version is the individual neurons aren't directly responsible for much at all, but rather they are a medium for brain waves to propagate and the brain waves are the currency which thought is conducted in. Things are represented with waves, not with individual neurons being on or off. I've written elsewhere how I think existent machine learning may be doomed to plateau because the things that are still difficult for machines have elegant solutions in frequency space but no analogous solution in the existing models.
