What about the parts of the (human) brain that are just some wet-wired differential processing grid. Though their phenotype is ultimately prescribed in DNA (granted a list), I wouldn't be surprised to find that many of those "moving parts" are more efficiently approximated/realized by things like 'hashes' (etc) as opposed to lists.
(My apologies if I'm out of my depth here.)
- Scriptor 17y agoCould you be more specific about what you mean? What exactly is a processing grid and which parts of the brain do you mean? Not questioning you, just really desperate right now for inspiration.
- kleevr 17y agoRay Kurzweil's book: "The Singularity is Near" My copy isn't so near, but I think my "intuitions" were informed somewhere in one of his "Reverse Engineering the Human Brain" sections. (Sorry I can't provide a more precise reference.) His book is well footnoted, and if there are in fact scientific studies reinforcing what I claim to remember him having written, I'm sure they would be documented there. If you haven't read it, and your looking for some hyper-tech sort of inspiration, I highly recommend it. It is maybe a bit exhaustive for the casual reader, but well worth it considering it's detail and scope. (And my apologies to RayK if I'm entirely mistaken in my understanding.)
