Thanks, making use of the relatively low propagation speed hadn’t occurred to me.
That would indeed reduce the scaling of data bandwidth significantly. It would still exist, just be not quite as severe. Area versus volume scaling still means that bandwidth dominates compute as speeds increase (with volume emulated per node decreasing), just not quite as rapidly.
I didn’t mean “tick” as a literal physical thing that happens in brains, just a term for whatever time scale governs the emulation updates.
