- I must say I'm dubious, doctor. The problem with a look-up table is that
- it's a digital model. I can test it in its ability to follow a chaotic
- sequence and identify the level at which it discretizes the world. One
- thing I'm convinced of is that the human brain maintains an effectively
- continuous model of the world. Even the output of neurons is FM
- superimposed on a tagging carrier wave, and so is essentially continuous.
