"Is" here is the brain, neuromorphics, any sort of NN. In general, some version of centroid-based clustering, starting with perceptron. Which is summation-first, comparison-last. "Ought to be" is comparison-first, summation-last: connectivity-based clustering. Because it is the comparison that quantifies compression. Doing summation first is an indiscriminate destruction of data, we and evolution hit on that because it's easy.
