  • Yes the connectome is kind of critical. But other than that, sub threshold oscillations can and are being modeled. It also does not really matter that we are digitizing here. Fluid dynamics are continuous and we can still study, model and predict it using finite lattices.

    There are some things that are missing, but very clearly we won’t need to model individual ions and there is lots of other complexity that will not affect the outcome.



  • Counterpoint, from a complex systems perspective:

    We don’t fully know or are able toodel the details of neurochemistry, but we know some essential features which we can model, action potentials in spiking neuron models for example.

    It’s likely that the details don’t actually matter much. Take traffic jams as an example. There is lots of details going on, driver psychology, the physical mechanics of the car etc. but you only need a handful of very rough parameters to reproduce traffic jams in a computer.

    That’s the thing with “emergent” phenomena, they are less complicated than the sum of their parts, which means you can achieve the same dynamics using other parts.


  • Jo Sprachen unterscheiden sich schon ein bisschen stärker voneinander als ne kleine sprechpause in 10% der Worte.

    Ich kann allerdings hessisch, sächsisch Bairisch und wahrscheinlich noch ne ganze Menge mehr Dialekte verstehen, die viele unterschiedliche regeln und Eigenarten haben die weit über das was gendern bedeutet hinaus gehen.
