And we use the term functional anatomy as distinct from structural anatomy or the kind of anatomy that anatomists did.
Um so for decades I've used the word functional anatomy, but I've now
deliberately changed it because that's too um um
what did you call it?
Biological na well ever, whatever.
It i it it it's too constrained.
Yeah, what w what w what people are talking about are functional architectures.
Um that's what I meant by dynamics on structure.
Um so you're absolutely right.
And it doesn't have to be carbon based and it certainly doesn't have to be um
uh doesn't have to be for example.
Um and I think this is sort of practically important because you will find a community out there who are committed to a particular kind of neuromorphic um way forward in terms of artificial consciousness based upon spiking neural networks, SSNs.
SNNs.
Um so you know, that is really going uh you're a particular commitment to um
A biometic, neuromorphic kind of computation where they're actually emulating the spiked by spike physiology of synaptic transmission.
I don't think that is what is implied by certainly the self-evidence implied by things like the free energy principle.
What is implied is the anatomy of the cause-effect structure being installed in the message passing on the dynamics.
your computer, whether your computer is your brain or your personal computer.
It is that architecture that the absolutely I was talking about.
Um and doesn't need to be cast at the scale of spikes.
