Of what use is it to comp ?To the semiotician, the world consists of extended things andtheir inextended representations called signs. The physical andthe nonphysical. So not dissimilar to the world of Leibniz.There are two related branches of the study of signs. One,called semiotics, is more properly the study of the logic of signs,is what I shall be addressing, and was developed by CS Peirce.The other branch, called semiosis, was developed by Saussure.It is the study of the application of signs (frequently wordsor language) socially, in the world outside. A basic branchof this study involves linguistics and the study of structuresin language.So Peirce's semiotics is based on logical mental phenomena,while Saussure's semioses deals with the use andmeanings of words and phrases socially in the world at large.Semiotics, being logical, appears to me to be the proper branch tostudy together with comp.[Roger Clough], [rcl...@verizon.net]12/1/2012"Forever is a long time, especially near the end." -Woody Allen
The final solution -> How comp could work in the brainPeirce is known to have borrowed some ideas from Locke,the most likely one being Locke's philosophy of mind,namely that the mind is a blank slate and that all knowledgeis obtained through the senses.Comp could in fact provide such sensory signals if thenumbers of comp are converted to analog form signalsand interfaced to the brain. Presumably this is howdigital implants work.
So in principle comp could work.
A possibly workable scheme would begin withcomp forming signs or representations in the brainwith electrical signals. Then what ?

Hi Craig WeinbergAs I said, "the numbers of comp are converted to analog form signalsand interfaced to the brain." The numbers in time are essentiallywaveforms, even if they are pretty erratic. You output the numbersthrough a f/2 filter as voltages and supply those to the brain.
