The truth of Klein's bottle, 6th of December 2015.
Who says that "truth" (if something like that exists) can be represented on a material substrate of the brain? I want to say that the projection
of this truth on the material substrate may be completely inadequate. Imagine, for example, that the brain is a one-dimensional array of
bulbs which turn on and off (pixels). On such an array one may try to represent, say, a sphere or something even more complex,
>> Klein's bottle or
a >> Moebius strip. How would that look like?
It wouldn't look right - nothing of the complex topology of these objects could be represented.
