    Human hardware is pretty impressive, might need to move on from binary computers to emulate it efficiently.

        Neurons produce multiple types of neurotransmitters. That means they can have an effective state different from just on or off.

        I’m not suggesting we resurrect analogue computers, per se, but I think we need to find something with a little more complexity for a good middle ground. It could even be something as simple as binary with conditional memory, maybe. Idk. I see the problem not the solution.

        I’m also not saying you can’t emulate it with binary, but I am saying it isn’t as efficient.
