No. My point was that the brain functions more than just by sending signals over synapses. The Bible of Computational Neuroscience is The Biophysics of Computation by Christoph Koch. It's an entire book about the computation that goes on within a single neuron, it's dendrites and axon. A biologically plausible neuron is far more complex than an artificial neural network

Yes again, however what is of interest at the moment is the nerve impulses and the transmission of neurotransmitters at synapses.
You are rightly pointing out that nerve impulses may spontaneously arise from a synapse etc yet once they do their behaviour is no different to a nerve impulse that has its origin in an event that occurred in your eyes.
Do you agree?

Now with the globe story, I am not trying to make the process discrete. All I am doing is putting some geometry around the activity of interest in order to track their progress over space and time. The globes do not take away or add anything to the activities of interest, they are only meant to be an aid to thinking the changes in the location of the activity.

In regards to the globes (Activity of interest) the following is true.

Consider a snap shot of globes at an instant of time.
Any one of the globes has absolutely no causal or any other relationship to any other globe in the snap shot.

As such
1. The distribution of the globes over space in that snapshot can and is possible what corresponds to the U (the tree) of the axiom
2. However the question is what corresponds to the "I" in this snap shot?

I apologize for delays in my responses firstly I think I live in a different time zone to most of you (Aus) and secondly this week is excrutialingy busy for me.
