No, I showed your point to be irrelevant. Recall that my initial words were that the AGI (which is not yet here) will be more powerful than the human mind.
This is why your point was irrelevant, it doesn't alter the validity of the words underlined in the OP, or contribute anything novel to the topic at hand.

I don't know what your problem is with the OP, especially given the following:
- Your words about the channel-paradigm from the paper in reply 9: "The problem is that such a distribution has only one parameter (in this case the number of correlated channels) ...".
- Your words about the channel-paradigm from the paper in reply 13: "This is a one-parameter model".
- Finally, the paper deals with Stirling approximation, which concerns Shannon entropy measure.
- Furthermore we know this about Shannon Entropy measure based on Wikipedia/entropy...: "Shannon entropy is the logarithm of 1D, the index with parameter equal to 1.
People may not want to "kudos" my response, and instead kudos your false responses, but we also know scientific evidence doesn't care about peoples feelings!
- In other words, the paper and Shannon entropy measure are compatible; but you admit twice now that the paper is "one parameter model" while you clearly/reasonably forget that "Shannon entropy" may be as Wikipedia basically underlines, "one parameter aligned". (This is likely why you ironically claim the paper and Shannon entropy have no business being expressed together!)
No, I am saying there is a simpler description of what is going on that is more accurate and not as subject to the hype.
The simple description is that a waking brain has more active connections than one that is asleep or in a coma. That seems like a 'duh'.
If this is what passes for psychology research, well, it makes me sad for the subject.
