>All biologic brains are connected by at the very least DNA at a very base level. Not a closed system.
I agree that all brains are initially built from a similar DNA blueprint, and that DNA plays a role in development and function. If the sensory streams from your sensory organs were disconnected what would your experience of reality be? No sight, sound, tactile or sensory input of any description, how would you play a part/ interact with this wider network you describe… you are a closed box/ system and only experience 'your individual' reality through your own senses, you would be in a very quiet, dark place indeed. >For example, when modeling vehicular traffic do you only study or emulate one car? Any group dynamics be it cars or elephants are ultimately driven by the individual units within the group. There are no magical forces joining or governing group behaviour, even if the environment drives group behaviour, it’s still the actions of the individuals as singular closed systems that make the choices/ decisions. :) ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Taa86c5612b8739b7-M8b84fee581598a7a3399336d Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
