It’s not impossible. The specific phyisical organization is almost certainly impossible to measure given the behavior of dendrites and the rather chaotic method by which they continuously reform and adapt to new stimulations, even if, by mechanical means, we can alll but duplicate the behavioral products it produces. THe reason is simple really, in that all language consists of measurements, and sets of measurements produce similar constructs, and we can, with some certainty, treat language just as we treat any other measure.
That said, we can, with humiliating precision, describe the categorical differences between humans in every dimension. Though it would take, as it does today, interviewing someone, or at least having access to a stream of emails, before we can profile that person into unambiguous terms. Though you would be surprised at how much we can profile of a person from just a few hundred words.
And yes we work on this subject. Though Daniel does not participate in this forum the thousands of variables we have (he and others have) reducing human differences to the unambiguous.
