It's not a logical path. Because at the atomic level, chaos theory takes over. You could not, with a mathematically deterministic model, ever hope to simulate that sort of chaotic structure. You would simply have a rough estimate. But by chaos theory we know that if the inputs are off by even the smallest amount the outputs over time become exponentially unpredictable and divergent.
We can use simulations as estimates, as rough guidelines, but not as universes on a chip. That sort of thing is impossible.

- chrisco255 5y agoNo, I am speaking of the creation of a simulation of a working brain from the atomic level, Which is impossible. The brain works fine because it is made of real atoms in the real universe. It is not a model. It is physical. Chaos theory does not say that the outputs of a system cannot be bounded by physical limitations.
- windows2020 5y agoCould there somehow be a pattern deep within the chaos that biological life propagates?
- lern_too_spel 5y agoChaos theory says that in some systems, slight perturbations result in wildly different outcomes. Slight perturbations happen in brains all the time, yet they work. It's nothing to do with physical vs. simulation.
