Anyone into webgl/3d programming would have been mind blown by demoscene. I had read about perlin noise but never truly appreciated it until I saw some of the demoscene demos. Everything - the music, the landscape, trees, cameras, buildings - all procedurally generated. Code is maximally reused. Made me think, perhaps the brain is also doing that. Just storing symbols and rough descriptions, enough to recognize it again and reason/imagine the world. But high compressed lossy model of the world. Perhaps the brain is just a few gigabytes of memory to restore someone’s consciousness. May be less. demoscene does that to you.
