Efficient Ease of Numerous Neurons


  • What is the most effective and efficient construction of a preferred assembly, by method of accessing tools within a toolbox?
  • Tools within the toolbox include: memories of factors (including objects (or physical elements) and motion of objects), and memories of concepts (including virtual sub-constructs of numerous factors). 

  • Accuracy of -reference of resemblance of memory data- (for one thing) should be beneficial, allowing a more accurate and preferred assembly (or cause of preferred outcome of a set of circumstances). Once a memory is matched, greater accuracy of the data which is accessed, should prove to be beneficial for predicting an outcome, of which is preferable to cause. But accuracy can only help with memories which are saved, so quantity of memories should be necessary for use of accuracy, in circumstances involving a vast quantity of variables, and concepts therein. 

  • But even with high accuracy of memory data recall, and a high quantity of memories available to match, the brain still requires access to the numerous memories (of which it might then recall accurately). Without ease of access to memories, the brain could still be in a subconscious state, accessing only few memories (even if a high quantity available, and vivid recall of which). 

  • For ease of accessing a matching memory to current circumstances, the brain must have open access passageways. Considering the seeming method of the organic human brain, and its relevant developed process of memory access, when the brain has easy access, via more open neural passageways (each of which, physically leads to a memory), by mathematical probability, the brain uses each individual neural passageway less often, if the same number of neurons are used. Potentially, as a result of less usage of individual neural passageways, incidentally that memory would be less accurately recalled. 

  • It seems likely, as animal subconscious gradually developed into human conscious thought, more memories became easier to access from less severe triggering (linked, positive or negative feedback chemicals) required to access the memories. With more memories being accessed easily enough, each individual memory was therefore accessed less often, unless an increased number of neurons began to fire, in order to maintain connecting to each memory as often as before, while still accessing other memories more easily. This seems likely to be the case, as it is probably evident that humans fire a higher quantity of neurons than animals, and this would allow sustenance of accuracy of memory recollection, without the reduction of use of neural passageways.  

  • So as a result of easier access to more memories, the brain likely increased the number of neurons which fire, and memory capacity as well, in order to maintain a higher accuracy of memory recall, to assist the higher quantity of memories which are being accessed more easily. With a high enough quantity of memories being accessed more easily, compounds of memories are then also saved as a memory. These compounds are the sub-constructs of factors which we “comprehend”. With the ability to save compound memories, comes an exponential increase of quantity of memories to be accessed, with the potential to make a significant amount of combinations using all memory data of factors.

  • With so many memories for potential access, for the most efficient method of access, the brain would need to develop the most effective balance of: ease of access of a higher quantity of various memories, vs accuracy of recall (by means of recurring access), using the present physically maximum quantity of neurons. With a hypothetical limit to quantity of neurons to fire, the brain can either access a higher quantity of memories more easily with less accuracy of recall (as a result of fewer recurrences of the neuron using that passageway), or access fewer memories with higher accuracy of recall.

  • In the general scenario, for which memory is required, of fewer factors and possible variables, a high recall accuracy seems as though it would be more beneficial -as long as the number of neurons is relatively sufficient in ratio to the number of factors to be potentially saved as memory. 
  • Whereas in a scenario where a vast quantity of potential variables and complex circumstances are present, it seems ease of access to more memories (to meet the ratio, in relation to potential variables and concepts) would be most effective.

  • This theory seems to suggest, a requirement cause of the natural development of higher intelligence, is a complex environment with a wide scope of variables demanding a higher quantity of potential memory data.
