Hello Andre That was just a practical example. It's meant to help illustrate the point, rather than being the point. So you really don't have to follow that thread, even it makes clearer what I meant with what was said before the example. But my mode of thought has, I think, always been kind of geometric. When I was four years old I remember pondering the infinity of the universe. I couldn't get it together then. I thought, "if the universe is finite, then I must be able to imagine it having an end, after which nothing follows, but I can't do that. But if it is infinite, then I must imagine something which just continues without an end, but I can't do that either." Of course, you could imagine it as a kind of closed space, but I didn't know that then: and even if someone had told me I wouldn't have been able to follow, that is "grasp" what he meant. I don't know, but perhaps you are more of the algebraic kind? (you can always express the same thing either geometrically or algebraically) I like to think in wider "wholes" rather than sequences of details, but many people prefer that approach.

It probably isn't for someone who understands it. I just don't, despite having put in some effort over the years. When I get confronted with things like: 'The probability that a signal is propagated through any specific synapse when a neuron fire is a number between zero and one. The total number of possible connections between neurons would be a function of the number of neurons, N, f(N)=(N(N-1)/2 In this simplified particular instance, I would term this number of a maximally connected network...' I completely switch off. Mind you, this is just me. It makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. I just prefer talking metaphysics. Cheers.
