Again, he’s wrong. He’s putting forth a hypothesis but no causal relation to neural structure. The structure of the beain is simple, there is just a lot of it. Its just a competition for continuous prediction in a vast recursive hierarchy. We see what the camera sees. In vision, the competition between disambiguation, spatial inference, by continuous hierarch of predictions is what we are producing. The only limit I know of today is central processing that requires training to adapt vs distributed processing – or what we call neuromorphic architecture that continuously updates. God save us from philosophers opining on brains and minds. He also has it backward: harmonics emerge from competition. We hear coherence vs non coherence.
