Yes. I took an introneuroscience course a few years ago. Even to understand what is happening in one neuron during one input from one dendrite requires differential equations. And there are postive and negative inputs and modulations... it is bewildering! And how many billions of neurons with hundreds of interactions with surrounding neurons? And bundles of them, many still unknown?
Searle was known for the Chinese Room experiment, whicb demonstrated language in its translational states to be strong enclitic feature of various judgements of the intermediary.
Searle also has almost 20 books, most written after 1980 and the Chinese room. None that I have read are pop science NYT best seller types. I suspect that is why most people only know the Chinese room. His depth of thought was much more than the Chinese Room.
>translational states to be strong enclitic feature of various judgements of the intermediary
I don't understand, could you explain what you mean?
I looked up enclitic - it seems to mean the shortening of a word by emphasizing another word, I can't understand why this would apply to the judgements of an intermediary
Do you need differential equations to understand what’s happening in a transistor?
