Foundation of all Axioms the Axioms of Consciousness

RE: Foundation of all Axioms the Axioms of Consciousness

Then over any length of time these globes  will never intersect.


The firing of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators has an accumulative effect over time. Neurons have firing rates. Firing rates also have to synchronise.

Neurons can also fire randomly and not have any effect due to inhibition of the post synaptic neuron.

In a word, your description is far too simplistic. It's like saying that a car can be described by nothing more than the rotation of the wheels.
