Ed:
People signs we call also a language. And if you can believe in evolution
you know as well before we could talk we use hand, head, shoulders and more
for signals. Do you remember that time?

But a one-to many relationship, In a real brain? Have you ever seen a real
brain with spiking neurons?

And in the brain a cluster of neurons that work for body signals and for
speech and writing both. They are called with a strange name transition
neurons.

It's an economic way of nature to use the same neurons for different
outputs.

Yes exactly. look in the detail that is exact,.

Exactly Anthony.

We mathematicians can make fantastic products and they surely function, but
what has that do to with our own brain, and why is that necessary?

I see it so, it works, fine, and what is then important.

Thanks for this posting, Anthony. You look wider than most posters.
