Was it Krimel who said that our thinking isn't binary but analogous?
[Krimel]
No, I said our thinking is analog not digital. Look it up. I am tired of
explaining the basics to the uneducated.
[Bo]
But what does he know about the inner workings of the brain?
[Krimel]
I know more than you and have provided frequent examples.

Our human thinking which is language conveyed presents its end product
analogously but the processing itself, the storing of memory, may well
be by some on/off - firing of signals/not firing - 1/0 means?
[Krimel]
This is just about exactly, what it, is NOT. Re-presentation, which is to
say, memory, seems to involve efficiency in the patterns of neural firing.
(Patterns... get it...) Processing seems to involve coordinated firing of
multiple neural pathways. Most animals process sensation (input) in such a
way as to produce behavior (output) that increases the probability of their
survival into the next moment. They have a built in "sense" of probability.
Along this dimension of: from this moment until the next... a colony of
slime mold can only calculate from here to there or me to not me. It's
useful. It increases the probability that the colony will survive.
Beatles sing about I, me, mine;
Here or there; hell, anywhere.
One toke over the line and it's,
I, me, mine.
Neural networks, like our nervous systems, do not work according to
algorhythmic rules. They do not move methodically from step to step; rung to
rung...
They jiggle, "til it feels right.
They work according to: what works.
They use what they just did to gauge their next move.
As in chess, success is measured in terms of the number of moves into the
future one can compute. Extension in time; that is, the duration backward
and forward in time a system can use to decide what to do right frickin'
NOW!; is a measure of consciousness.
Living things are feedback loops.
