data modelling of the human brain
After years of modelling of business processes one can get very encouraged about how this aids clarity, and reduces structural errors. Then one spies the human brain, and gasps at its apparent lack of order and structure.
Is the physical brain just a single data entity with lots of links with itself. Essentially an unstructured mass of linked blobs. Probably.
Now you could argue that evolution, can add complexity or specialisation, but has more difficulty in reorganising or restructuring or simplifying.
Now think about AI as we currently have it. I think the data model cannot be so different. Blobs of words have a 'probability' of being the next blob in an expanding chain of blobs. Pretty much the same data model.
But it clearly could be used to emulate something with a complex data model. Emulations in the computer world are often fraught with weaknesses and bugs, and maybe this holds true in the brain as well. It will certainly be slow, and could very easily be out evolved.
I personally think that we might not recognise the next generation of mind.
