stocks falling This just shows that you know nothing . It ' s a private company idiot . <| sep |> This is some REALLY trivial shit he wrote down . Maybe neuroscientists like him should take basic maths , computer science and AI courses before publicizing . Here is what he didElements can be connected to each other . This can be represented as an adjacency matrix . Connected neurons can be represented as connected elements . adjacency matrix . Ideas i . e . groups of neurons can be represented as connected elements . adjacency matrix . Let ' s look at one row connection of one element in this matrix . It has 2 i possible configurations binary states , i elements . Let ' s remove the configuration in which the element is not connected to another element the vector is entirely 0 , which makes it useless . You end up with 2 i 1 . Let ' s call the amount of possible , valid configurations N . Presto . Publication done . N 2 i 1
