The neuron itself and its downstream counterparts are what I was considering the table lookup. In computers the address a value is stored at doesn't encode information. Only the value held at the address matters. Not so with neurons. How the connections form and who they are connected to represent compound operations. Like passing a value through separate preconfigured pipelines.
