brain noise or brain music?

In 2006 Pouget discovered that brain noise fits well a Poisson distribution, implicating the sound of the brain fits Bayesian computing. Neurons are not just randomly making noise, this noise is meaningful.

I propose an idea that the brain is a music instrument, and intuition it's meaningful overtone. Maybe this is why we can love music, it reflects our own thinking, musical brain, always busy to search accordance between firing neurons. Now my question is: if you believe in g'd, who plays the instrument? Is it the brain (the machine), is it the soul or is it g'd, or is it a combination of all three?

It would mean that communication results in sound in the brain. Do we translate all input of our senses (partly)into sound? Or is it just the decision making that is accompanied with Bayesian computing?
Is playing the instrument pulling snippets out of a library of meaningful ideas? This research of Pouget inspires me. And even though he focusses on the machine and I on the player and designer, I'm curious about how it continues.

meaning of ten fingers

When I was a little Odile, I used to look at buildings and ask myself what was the meaning of the amount of stones used to make this particular row of bricks that composes this wall. What is the meaning of two hands, ten fingers. Why ten? Instead of disappearing, these questions are still alive, very much so. So now I decided I'm going to explore this further, and since no meaning comes from science or arts sec, I find myself listening to this little Odile again. I find myself reading aboutkabbalah and it reflects better my creative thinking and feelings. Maths, puzzles, language, ... are full of meaning. Meaning is not a bunch of isolated copied thoughts accumulated.

15 k nanowrimo

Nanowrimo wordcount gadget doesn't work. I now have written over 15000 words. Next problem is how to continue. I don't have a plot, I have a complex structure that I want to fill. My writing style is (too?) compact. How do I make my writing more explanatory? I'm going to explain and fill with light descriptions.

Nanowrimo between mindfulness and mindlessness

I'm participating at Nanowrimo as a rebel. This because I don't write fiction, although what I write is about imagination getting out of control. What is the limit between imagination and non-fiction? This is me about losing my mind and recovering. Thanks to the protection of logical thinking, Mussar and knowledge, not to forget a caring husband.I'm writing in Dutch.
current wordcount (day 5) 11000

*new* item at Chez Odile is the metachat where Creatives and Thinkers meet.
