Machine language is a known lower level; neurons aren’t; perhaps in the future there will be more microscopic building blocks examined; maybe there is no end to the division itself.
That doesn’t change that models of neither are of much use for most practical applications. If you do gene therapy with the target of changing cognition, it helps to understand what neurons do. If you care about how to memorize information it’s irrelevant and you rather focus on empirics of what happens when human memorize information.
It’s not by accident that Aristotle explicitly argued that for any system to include the means to prove something
Aristotle knew little about how to do science and learn through empiricism and today we have a much better idea of how to learn about the world then we had back then. Thinking in thousand year old terms while ignoring recent advances in how to gather knowledge is ineffective.
