“Assuming, however, that there is
some kind of memory thing, the brain is such an enormous mass of interconnect ing wires and nerves that it probably cannot be analyzed in a straightforward
manner. There is an analog of this to computing machines and computing ele-
ments, in that they also have a lot of lines, and they have some kind of element,
analogous, perhaps, to the synapse, or connection of one nerve to another. This
is a very interesting subject which we have not the time to discuss further—the
relationship between thinking and computing machines. It must be appreciated,
of course, that this subject will tell us very little about the real complexities of
ordinary human behavior. All human beings are so different. It will be a long
time before we get there.”
