Perhaps that's because you haven't asked a single good question? What do matrix multiplication and optimisation have to do with the way the human mind, or the human brain work? That they have anything to do at all, is your assumption, that you seem absolutely convinced about- and then you go asking people why can't it be true? You say why it is true. It's your assumption. Matrix multiplication and optimization are human mathematical techniques. They have about as good a chance of being something that exists in nature independently of humans as Magic: the Gathering and Call of Duty. They might be useful models to help us understand how things work, but to assume they are how things work is a huge leap of faith. Ask the right questions and then an answer may even suggest itself. Ask questions that follow from your preconceived answers and you're in a world of fantasy.
