But there’s no way to route signal 43432 in one brain to signal 43432 in another brain. That’s because two brains can’t be put in one-to-one correspondence like that. It’s true that the brains of very small creatures have an exact number of neurons. You could do a one-to-one mapping between the 302 neurons in one C. elegans brain and another one. But large brains aren’t like that. Large brains are not identical in that sense.
I’m not sure what you mean by “essentially language tokens or translatable common emotions,” but as far as I know signals in brains consist of spikes traveling along axons and varying concentrations of neurochemicals in synapses.
Most humans have an inner monologue where they internally generate streams of thought in their native language. I am saying you could map those signals back to the tokens for that language. You are likely mapping many signals from different axons to tokens. Then you translate to the recipients language, then translate to the recipients representation for the same token.
Then inject it somewhere by electrically overriding target axons. It might actually feel like the injected thoughts were your own.
Getting this token mapping would take a lot of tracing of wires so to speak, it is an extremely difficult task. I am just noting it is possible.
No, it is not possible. The tokens you talk about don’t exist. We may exchange tokens with one another through speaking and writing, but those tokens do not exist internally as single physical entities in the nervous system. The internal monologue is real enough, but it consists of bunches of spikes within your nervous system.
The sensory-motor thing might work.

Therefore you proved it is possible. Please update.
