Chris Fields, Richard Watson, and I discuss how memory is stored in trained but static pathway models, and what this means for memory and mind-reading technologies in general. See https://thoughtforms.life/but-where-is-the-memory-a-discussion-of-training-gene-regulatory-networks-and-its-implications/ for more information and background on this topic.

Working meeting between Chris Fields, Richard Watson, and I where we discuss error correction (and who decides what's an error), quantum aspects generalized to the larger world, decoherence, observers, and Patrick Grim's fascinating work on adding a time dimension to logic to enable contradictions and self-referential paradoxes to be manipulated as fractal structures.
