No, I’m saying having a finite number of neurons doesn’t imply a particular number of brain states. Scaling laws actually don’t apply very strictly to brain size. For example, whales have very large brains but aren’t generally thought to be more capable of reasoning than humans. Women generally have smaller brains than men but aren’t thought to be less capable of reasoning.

It's vast but necessarily finite number of "brain states" however that's defined, which is itself a subset of the vast but also finite number of states of the finite number of component particles.
