The human brain could perhaps be considered a hybrid analog-digital system:
digital
neuron firing, based on hybrid chemical messengers/electrical potential
summation,
and below that, hybrid microtubule events (Hameroff). Sarfatti's model on
consciousness
is also hybrid, based on a Bohm-Pribram hologram generated from the EEG near
field and the
10^18 hydrophobically caged electron dipole oscillators inside microtubules.
However, as Carver Mead mentioned to me recently, neuromorphic models may
no longer be useful in the development of SIs, so I'm not sure if this is
relevant to SL4. If not, I'd like very much to get feedback on these ideas
privately for an article I'm researching. Thanks,
