And so what is the relationship between those two things, and how sort of quantitatively are they linked? So i think that the quarter power, i sayin that the conduction time speed, you're trying to keep the time as fast as possible, but the times ging t take longer as you get bigger. To create like a unit, which can do things in a reasonable amount of time, you have to create smaller chunks within the brain,. Or possibly hemispheres, do crete like distant scales at t q
