It appears compossed of a web like lattice structure with connecting nodes, areas of density where numerous strands of the filament meet.

The universe could have been a random chaos of galaxies with no particular structure at all.

You don't have license to pretend that the structure you see is just a figment in the human mind either. It's clearly is an objective physical reality you can visually see. It isn't the same thing as the face on Mars as it isn't pattern we recognise.

Ask yourself this, or not, depending whether you want to be a person who has any of the wherewithall to actually investigate, think things through and finding things out, or just an airy bullshiter who takes his own bullshit seriously in lieu of investigating, thinking things through, and finding out:

What is it about the neuron's web like lattice structure with connecting nodes that allows it to function as a neuron? Is it purely the web like lattice structure with connecting nodes? Or is lattice structure with connecting nodes largely incidental to a profound array of infrastructures like neurotransmitter, membrane action potentials, ATPs, etc, etc, etc that are absolutely essential for neurologic function? Look up anywhere, google will do, how cell functions, and what processes are required, beside the lattice like structure, for neurons to do anything neuron like at all.

Does the superficially similar lattice structure with connecting nodes present in galaxy cluster share anything remotely analogous to these array of absolutely essential functional infrastructures? If not, what is the basis for claiming analogous function underneath the most superficial of visual similarity?

I didn't say it did. I don't know how you would know if it does, but it could if the structure of the universe allows for it.

It would obviously require the equivalent of all these systems and mechanisms and these would operate on the scale of the universe as a whole. But it would require the the appropraite neurological structure of to begin with, which it has as you can see. The rest of it will be there to discover in the furture, something to look forward to.

It could for all we know, bear in mind that you're only seeing 4% of what is actually there.
