Our brain is not branching out like Wolfram's Rulliad into a nearly infinite state space and to a multiverse because it's still a finite number of neurons. But it might be emulating this to some degree in a sense that our brain is sampling from a succession of possible states in superposition. And this is similar to what you mentioned in the beginning, right? That we are not always in a definite state. Instead we are often exploring a superposition of possible thoughts until we get to a point that become definite enough where the neurons basically vote that all the different branches are meeting here. This is where we have a definite thought again, some symbolic thought, something that we
