why is it that a pattern can't be continous? I mean...we have brain waves, and they cycle through all sorts of patterns depenant on our mood, or if we're sleeping, with all sorts of variations and responses to stimuli.... but you define them as non-continous because the discharges themselves are transient.
yet you are willing to posit "memory" which is not transient, at least on some degree. well, what is memory if not a part of that pattern of electrical/physical activity of the brain?
why define a system that stores and processes information using electrical impulses as non-continous? talking about the transience of brain wave pattern, and then mystically defining memory seems like one hell of a logic jump. for instance, can you prove my computuer runs non-continously just because it stores data?
btw...you assume that in making an artifical brain, you can recreate all of its activity. that may well include "an operating system" of sorts...which many well be the continutity part of the equation. stored data + an interpretive method= intelligence.
