Can memory be contained in the brain?

Let us start here:

Most of the articles and studies on the brain say it contains 68 or 100 billion nerve cells (neurons); I can’t understand why not “between”. A text at San Francisco Portal (link), of which I pasted excerpts at the end of the Annex states that “the human brain has between 100 billion and 10 billion neurons. Quite “small” range, isn’t it?

Well, for the purposes intended for this discussion, suppose that there are 100 billion neurons and its network of branches can generate up to 100 trillion points (synapses).

In “y” and as you might expect, it is very logical that the neurons, their associations, and synapses have many fundamental things to do, first preserve life and all body functions, move, see, smelling, tasting, feeling by touch, feel emotion … and, therefore,

“Although the nerve cells that change their activity during memory usage are widely distributed in the brain, individual neurons generally respond to specific aspects of memory.”

Even worse now that scientists have discovered (and proven) that the brain sends messages to the body even before any action is performed! See When Your Eyes Tell Your Hands What to Think: You’re Far Less in Control of Your Brain Than You Think.

Let’s be conservative: Suppose that 50 billion neurons and 75 trillion synapses occupy directly or indirectly different memory classes.
If we follow the models of all the links here and the Annex presented a reductionist model electrochemical necessarily have to associate each synapse to unit information, i.e., a bit; again in favour of conservatism, we will assume — even if it is physically impossible — that each synapse generates a byte. Within this reductionist “scientific” model that memory is contained in the brain, we come to a mathematical impossibility.

A clear picture we hold would be represented by pixels. Each pixel 16,777,216 bits uses three colours, i.e. ≈ 16,8x¹⁰⁶ bits per channel. See, among other similar materials, the text of this link. A high-definition picture requires at least 10 Megapixels, i.e. 10 (¹⁰⁶) x16, 8 (¹⁰⁶) = 168x10ⁿ bits, n = 36, then 168 followed by 36 zeros! An insignificant little image, since the human eye perceives to 576 megapixels or more. And that’s just a tiny corner of the zillions of things we have in memory.

Does this mean that memory has nothing to do with bits and bytes?

No: in the present state of knowledge is a consensus that whatever the underlying theory, standard model, quantum mechanics, fractals, chords and supersymmetry, the last base of the representation of cognitive phenomena and memorials are bits of information, fermions, and baryons, fractals, quantum leaps or quantum entanglement. I believe that another quasi-consensus is that perception results in — and of — quantum leaps, but the storage of untold amounts of information can be perhaps explained by the “quantum entanglement” it would be a way we can use extradimensional “files”.

Some scientists, including the remarkable and renowned mathematician and physicist Roger Penrose, believe that current physics cannot explain the psychological consciousness, which has its place in the quantum universe.

Fritjof Kapra, Carl Sagan, Robert Paster, and Michio Kaku are some other exponents who have been following and exploring new grounds in search for understanding and conceptualization of physio psychological perception of reality for animals, particularly by humans.

However for me the theory that best explains the phenomenon of memory (even if today criticized by many scientists but without no reasonable scientific evidence for their criticism) is Mathi Pitkanen’s, using physical TGD — Topological Geometrodynamics, bright and intelligibly explained by Robert Paster in his book “Digital Mind Matht”.

Professor Paster kindly sent me a message in dealing with this theory and authorized me to include it in this text.

To further understand Pitkanen’s theory you must have a notion on p-adic numbers that, as Dr Paster explains:

“In many ways, it’s no surprise that the strange mathematics of p-adic numbers have application in psychology.

Consider how your mind wanders from one thought to another as you feel like it, but at the same time seems to have intercourse. Are these memories connected because they are p-adic next — because they have similar details, although dissimilar-sized or goal? And will be the p-adic mathematical mathematics not only of our reveries in vigil but our dreams too? …… Understanding p-adic mathematics as the mathematics of thoughts is the first step to understanding TGD.

The development of physical TGD assumes the merger of the real physical world with the p-adic world of the mind. “
Then he explains, by items:

1. Multi-leaf pace-time.
2. The quantum leap.
3. extremal massless (massless extremals).
4. TGD and bio-systems.
5. The brain and the thought process.
6. Memories.

Here I transcribe the end of item 6 in a free version:

“The sensory representations are processed in magnetic sensory panels, and much larger than the body. They are magnetospheric sensory representations”.

The cosmology of consciousness has a structure likened to fractals, with sub-cosmologies who know nothing of the other besides a result of quantum leaps involving twists (entanglement) within space-times sheets in higher dimensions.

The anticipation of future results from extremal massless (extremals massless) p-adictment is linked to intentions, plans, and expectations. This allows simulations of what might happen in the future (and would have occurred in the past) without a quantum leap.

Following his first message, Dr Paster sent me an Addendum that I pasted at the end of the first text, “ where he tells that he will be writing another book” Digital Mind Math: New Physics and the Mind, “which I eagerly look forward to. For now, it is interesting to see “Reality: Analog and Digital at the Same Time by Robert Paster.”

To further understand Pitkanen’s theory you must have a notion on p-adic numbers that, as Dr Paster explains:

Thank you for the opportunity to review your project.

I agree with the inclusion of my passage, and also if you want the following thoughts.

“TGD shapes the mind, using two core concepts: the p-adic use of mathematics as the mathematics of mind along with the second central concept, reconfiguring TGD space-time as 8-dimensional, specifically the 8-space M4 + x CP2, the special relativity in four-dimensional space-time of Minkowski (measured in time and space from the Big Bang) crossed the CP2 space — two orthogonal circles, orthogonal, in 4-dimensions, which means that each circle is connected to all the circles.

An event is an ordered sequence of settings in static time 3-dimensional, encompassing and encompassed by standards of a myriad of other events, each existing event as much as a real pattern and a pattern of p-Plus, the actual pattern is the concrete way we normally think of an event, and the p-adic form, labelling the relationship than what is terminating.

Mathematics p-adic directly labels the connections between orthogonal circles CP2.

The mind space-time uses the space numbering CP2 to label octa dimensional spaces, allowing the manipulation of thoughts and hypothesis testing before acting, guided by the principle of maximizing negentropy tending to maximize the information content.

The current project of Robert Paster is the manuscript of “Digital Mathematics of Mind: The Language of Mind.”

I would love that my colleagues and University scientists friends of mine could be kind enough to read this pretended philosophical text and especially ask’em to help me understand some paradoxes — probably idiot ones — that negentropy created in my dull mind.

1. Apparently, cells and their components can perform negentropic transfers, at least in the short duration (t <Ө in the above article: Negentropy) or even when t> Ө under certain conditions, into coherent arrangements and carry out the transfer of energy stocks in concatenated sequences. Now, the human body also — apparently — is the result of a coherent arrangement of cells in concatenated arrangements. So how does this set, the human body, becomes one of the lowest energy efficiency machines?

2. In the multiverse, close contact with the speed of light should occur. If this is true, all possible worlds would be put to maximum entropy (T ≈0K) along with ours. Conversely, universes of higher energy density could negentropically reduce the speed of our expansion, “stretching” its time of existence, and of course the whole multiverse.

That’s it: my schnauzer 14 years old, Totty, smells, smells. It smells ever and ever sniffed everything it can; in particular, pee smells of male and female dogs; He’d also smell turds, but I do not permit my dog to do that since with its big moustache would bring stench and bacteria home. So, I’m sorry if I caused some trauma to Totty.

He was and is sentenced to smell.

I am also convicted; sentenced to think…. Hence, as would say Itararé Baron, “I think, there’s the rub.
