I’m thinking about the paper Ewert 1987, which I know about because it spurred Dennet’s great essay Eliminate the Middletoad, but I don’t really know the gory details of, sorry.
I agree the analogy is weak, and there can be disanalogies even between different ANN architectures. I think my intuition is based more on some general factor of “human science being able to find something interesting in situations kinda like this,” which is less dependent on facts of the systems themselves and more about, like, do we have a paradigm for interpreting signals in a big mysterious network?
