<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&quot;…one favorite is that the brain is quite different from a computer<br /> because one is parallel and the other serial. The answer to this, of<br /> course, is that the distinction between serial and parallel is a<br /> distinction at the level of algorithm; it is not fundamental at<br /> all—anything programmed in parallel can be rewritten serially. &quot;<br /> This is an obvious point when put this clearly, in terms of different<br /> levels. I have to admit I still get tripped up confounding algorithm<br /> and implementation. The problem he is addressing here reflects many<br /> misunderstandings about distributed systems. A 'distributed' network<br /> can support 'centralized' dynamics.</div>
