Unsupported Speculation

A short little entry here.

Anyway, when you begin looking around in your mind and body, you may find that through dense nerve bundles that actually connect the brain to different organs of the body, these nerve bundles themselves can sometimes connect to each other via random nerve growth in a way that provides it a very minor thinking ability, almost like a miniature sub-region of the brain itself.

Because the work of neurons when they are linked together in large groups is to actually perform what we will call ‘Thought’; ie They act as a neural-net to perform some task for the other things they are connected to, then when these neuron connections actually form within dense nerve bundles, then they may end up doing something that is ‘learned’ the normal way neural-nets learn anything, which is by having stimulus travel into their cluster, and then this encourages the way this linked cluster naturally routes information between them via the small amount of chemical memory they use to determine which nerve it sends a signal out upon a stimulus to another neuron in the cluster.

I would estimate that at their highest sophistication within dense nerve bundles in the human body, they are about as intelligent as an insect. You can find them in various places where there are LOTS of nerves grouped together, and this is because a nerve is not one continuous stretch of some sort of information transmitting fiber, but instead they only go so far before reaching another neuron and then continuing on.

Thus, when nerves are actually bundled close together, perhaps in the places of dense throughput, then because nerves grow randomly in different directions slowly and only upon accidentally intercepting another neuron, connect to it, then they will actually begin forming something akin to a mini-sub-region of brain matter inside that nerve bundle.

Examples of the places they can be found can be in the optic nerves behind each eye, the stomach, the intestines, and the genitals. You also don’t actually need them, and if they are eliminated you will find that even though information was permitted to pass through these areas of accidental brain matter to their destinations, they actually slow things down, as well as add a lot of noise to signals that the brain actually gets used to processing without noticing.

Getting rid of those things speeds things up greatly, and there is also the added benefit that whatever these clusters happened to learn to do in those places might have been mildly deteriorating to normal functioning.

Another small matter about them is that, similar to how the brain doesn’t notice that it has to work harder interpreting information that passed through those clusters, then sometimes the clusters themselves learn to perform ancillary work for the human brain which the brain will have to take up directly if it gets rid of the clusters.

For example, emotional things might be added by these clusters that the Parietal Regions will have to relearn to do themselves after they are gone, such as emotional heartbeats or breathing, for example. It will do this, in this emotion-producing example, usually by responding in a rudimentary way to some sort of stimulus, and then squeaking out a signal that reaches the Parietal Regions in the brain in order to elicit the requested sensations and emotions.

It will have ‘learned’ in the neural-net fashion to actually send a signal that your Parietal Regions can actually interpret correctly, and often the stimulus that causes it to do it is complex and conditional. This is because it is usually triggered by an ‘Action Neuron’, which is the end-point of a complex number of conditions, and from which the action-neuron connects to some other part of the nervous system to carry out some sort of task. When it occurs, then a signal leaps out from one place and directly to a cluster itself (instead of the brain), before another signal departs for the Parietal Regions within the brain.

You can see that unless the brain takes up this work itself afterwards, you may remain as cold as an insect.
