Brain. The missing manual
Apr 15, 2023
I want to establish high-level model of how the brain operates. We start with basics.
- mental capacity of brain, we will measure in neural units (nu). One nu holds one thought.
- - Consious vs unconsious is just a mode of operation kernel/user space
- - There is a direct connection between total nu capacity (C) and power draw (P): C = k * P
- - That k must be some fundamental limit and could be measured preciesly
- - Incidentally the process of interpretation of the thought is basically a brain thread
- - Brain is parallel computer — we process thousands of thoughts in parallel, some in kernel mode others in user space
- - There is again fundamental limit on number of threads in any given brain, some thread might be stuck in infinite loop
