Quote (N.Wells @ Sep. 30 2016,14:40) | Gary, you have at long last managed to pose an acceptable hypothesis, that the neurons in the corvine hippocampus that are used for facial recognition constitute place and grid cells that are organized into triangular / hexagonal units. |
More specifically: the overall circuit of the entire brain region forms a 2D network that propagates waves as demonstrated by the Navigation Network model(s), which was tested in the ID Lab #5 where the circuit is wired in as I would any other electronic RAM chip type memory system.

Well thanks for saying.
Quote (N.Wells @ Sep. 30 2016,14:40) | However, it is not entailed by your "not a theory", nor does it provide a test of it - your hypothesis in simply not logically related to anything you say about intelligence or design, or natural selection, or trinities of anything, or the Cambrian explosion, or "molecular intelligence, etc., etc., etc. |
The theory predicted this hypothesis is true. Without the model that all this theory is possible from this hypothesis would not even exist.
The fact that the model has for decades been able to make reliable predictions for biology, to form testable hypotheses galore with, is another plus. And the theory possible from it is certainly way beyond anything else for explaining how living things are intelligently designed, created.
Quote (N.Wells @ Sep. 30 2016,14:40) | Note that your computer model is sufficiently divorced from first principles that it is incapable of providing a test of whether this is the way hippocampi actually work in nature. |
And what are the "first principles" of how the brain region that includes (but is not limited to) hippocampi works?
That is essentially the question I have for years been asking at places like the Kurzweil AI forum and now has the Reddit Neurobiology forum stumped too. Not even neurobiologists know enough detail to provide first principles.
From the looks of things the best scientific answer in regards to "first principles" of how our and other brains (at any size scale) work is in the model and theory that I have. But go ahead and try to prove me wrong.
Quote (N.Wells @ Sep. 30 2016,14:40) | But, baby steps. |
Along with the ramifications from an ID "culture war" over issues pertaining to first principles of "intelligence" the model and theory I defend has been a giant leap, for mankind..
-------------- The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.
