Can you please write these algorithms down? Where is the tarball I can

Wishful thinking here, pure and simple. And please don't mention silicon,
silicon is about to go away way before we have AI. (Good riddance). If you
think you can map full-detail neural emulation to a chunk of computronium
efficiently, good luck. You're going to need it.
You realize that your arguments so far amount largely to a lot of
handwaving? I'm not disagreeing with you in principle (feasibility of
cognition on an artifical substrate), but you have to make a much stronger
case than just a lot of unbased assertions.
