In this case the red-herring being dragged around to mislead the audience expects a computer model that has to accurately model behavior of matter/energy, molecular, cellular and multicellular systems to instead be made of artificial neurons, which in turn sabotages the theory by forcing it to go into neurological detail not yet known by science and limiting its core model to only multicellular brains in which case "intelligent cause" is no longer explainable by the model either.

That is some kinda sentence, right there.

What a mix of truth, falsity, tragedy, and atrocious writing!  No one is demanding that you build a model of artificial neurons, although that would indeed be a good way of resolving various issues.  However, we do indeed want accuracy, which you are astoundingly unwilling to discuss.  We want some kind of assurance that your formulas match what is really happening, when instead even your variable names seem a poor match to reality.  We need some evidence that the processes and agents that you call upon really exist and are capable of doing the things that you assert, but instead your assertions seem inadequate and inconsistent.

 It doesn't amount to a theory (and there's no promise that it ever will).

Let's restate that for emphasis

BY FORCING IT TO GO INTO NEUROLOGICAL DETAIL NOT YET KNOWN BY SCIENCE
 Don't you think that this might be a teensy clue about the depths of your cluelessness?

Well, yes, or you need a clear redefinition of intelligence that justifies the extension of intelligence to non-multicellular non-brains, plus an operational definition so that we can quantify it and other people can measure it independently, plus some evidence that it actually exists in the forms that you claim and can do what you assert.

DING DING DING DING.
