I can't read the original scientific paper this article is based on because it's behind a paywall, but I can read the abstract and it makes no mention of non-locality. It says among other things: "*Electrical transmission and communication in a network of synapses are modulated by extracellular fields generated by ionic chemical gradients. Emulating such spatial interactions in synthetic networks can be of potential use for neuromorphic learning and the hardware implementation of artificial intelligence. *[...] *Spectroscopic studies suggest that graded proton distribution in the inhomogeneous medium of hydrogen-doped nickelate film enables this behavior.*" I have no argument with any of that, but *IT AIN'T NON-LOCALITY!* John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis> nlb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
