I am working on the idea that all that needs to exist at anyone time are the activated neurons, and their context.
When a chord is played on a piano, it is possible to tell that a major or minor chord was played, without needing to hear it in relation to the notes you are not playing. the information is somehow self contained.
If we could have some way of saving neurons in a format where if it fires we already know its context, and have a rule for moving from one neuron to the next that only depends on the firing neurons we would have something. Like simply by mapping frequencies to each other without the need of a database of node frequency pairs.Music theory defines connectivity in terms of optimal chord sequences that only need local information on the notes being played. and can represent this numerically.
Think of a musical keyboard like a non local cellular automaton, Where the notes playing in one chord are connected to the next with individual notes leading (stronger connection) in one chord to the other more or less strongly.
The brain is a non local cellular automaton.
I bleed this music theory topic because i think im onto something
