The total number of neurons in all of the humanity's brains is in the order
of
10^21. The number of IPv6 addresses is in the order of 10^38.5, so,
plentifully
sufficient to address each and every neuron a 100 quadrillion times over.
Given that we have a general trend by Neuralink and Kernel
to link our
brains to the internet, it's an imperative that we need some way to
address their mental locations. So, allocate a
subspace of IP addresses to address the neurons of our brain. Each of us
could then enjoy our neurons being globally addressable.
What's more, when talking about a mental illness or relationships, it's not
about who is together with whom, it's about which of our neurons are
together
with which other neurons.

Seems excessive. You don't have an ip address per bit |
|
| |
For [xenzag] you'd get away with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask ... "Response is limited to 'ping' " ... |
|

Assigning the addresses is going to be problematic. Maybe fMRI after each drinking session but resolution isn't there yet. 10T is still only several 100,000 neurons. |

Small snag. What matters isn't the number of neurons so
much as the number of connections. This is why, for
example, 1000 mice are not capable of beating one human at
chess. Also, the synapses differ quite completely from one
human to the next, even though the overall architecture is
the same. |

But hi, [mindey]. Long time no see. |
|
| |
But if mice had a handle on the rules of chess, with their path seeking brains, it might be quite interesting. |

Tannoy: "IP address space for Brian. IP address space for Brian.
Would Brian please come to the reception deskyeswhatisit? Oh

Meanwhile, Brian has grown some new neurons in response to
being taught some things, but low bandwidth on the wifi means
the registration process, whereby they're assigned unique
addresses, is held up. He opens his mouth to express a new
insight he has just glimpsed, but suddenly his mind's eye is
occluded by a modal message saying "buffering ..." |

Sorry, was that "Brian" or "Boris" ... ? |
|
| |
Glad that's cleared up - could have been terribly confusing. |

Well, even assuming 1000 connections per neuron, we'd have just
10^24
connections, compared to the IPv6 space of 10^38.5, therefore. It's
funny
that DOD alone has got a chunk of 10^34.6 of IPv6 addresses ( /13
block ). |

| |
// Also, the synapses differ quite completely from one human to the

|

How does that increase the space of connections? |

Pong back, [MaxwellBuchanan]. Long time~ It's halfbakery, where you can come back after a
decade, and the old posts are still new. |
