Perhaps I mispoke. I agree that all we have at this point are logic programs that work, recursively, to "learn" from their mistakes and adjust accordingly ... which is what I think you said.

We have to figure out oursleves before we can figure out how to duplicate ourselves ... it's like the machine looking in on itself in order to fix itself. We hardly gotten past the point where psychiatry is considered more than a "soft science". I think that when we start figuring out this "interactivity of nodes" that our brain patterns are not going to conform to some logical or linear algorithm so much as to a variant of patterns seen in chaos theory. What I will say is interesting development is the intermingling of such sciences as psychiatry, neuroscience and pharmacology in not only mapping the brain through MRI but also in testing the brain chemically to see what affects what. There are some pretty informing articles on
