I had some musing about how the brain stored and retrieved data, but it was far simpler than I could have possibly imagined.

UH-HUH, but like the Universe, this kind of ORDER just "happened" out of pure chance, right?  You are beginning to see the Fingerprint of GOD folks.

This is extremely interesting, and makes a lot of sense in the core of the brain (and I am surprised this hasn't been observed on examination of brain tissue-- maybe much of this structure disappears immediately upon death, and is part of what makes death irreversible). But I bet they will be in for a real surprise when they can finally image what is going on in the cortex structures of the brain.

Just wait 6 months. Cisco will be marketing a switch built on this architecture  ;)

And the integers govern everything, eventually.  ::)

(And I heard, but I can't remember where, that that pattern optimizes something. Possibly length of fibres needed for everything to be interconnected.)

Not sure if trolling... ¬_¬

This is a simple structure... you're suggesting the opposite. Saying something "just happened" is begging the question. Of course, I don't even see why you'd post that here, you aren't going to convince anyone of your personal misinterpretation just by sticking capitals into it. If humans were unique, it'd be much more dubious, but they are not and it isn't. There are countless millions of less neurologically sophisticated species.

Sorry everyone else but, unless Niri is joking, it had to be said ::)
