So, are you saying the brain can be in these states independently of the state of the body?
Like I said, I have no idea what you mean by this.
I don't think that. What makes you think I do?
My bad, I misread your post.
I'll address what you wrote, rather what I read:
Are computers logical, is: sometimes, when you turn them on. But that isn't a yes/no answer, so it isn't a logical answer.
It is a logical answer if you specify the condition you want talk about.
YES a computer [operates logically] IF it's turned on and working correctly.
No it's not [operating logically] IF it's turned off or faulty.
A computer still exists when it's powered off. If you start taking it apart, can you confirm that it should work if it's put back together and powered on?
Of course you can
If it's not doing anything at all then how IS a computer logical?
If you found something ancient and took it apart, likewise is it possible that you can confirm it should work if it was reconstructed? Consider the Antikythera mechanism, is it a logical device? Is it "logical", yes or no? Does the original still work, yes or no?
Likewise.
There's a difference between BEING logical and operating/ behaving
logically.
You haven't answered my earlier question: If the "brain IS logical" why aren't
all decisions?
I dunno, perhaps we're at cross-purposes here.
I certainly agree that the "construction" of the brain (or computer) follows a logic (albeit in the case of the brain not entirely known to us), and the way it functions is, presumably/ possibly, some sort of process that has an underlying logic.
But the
output of the brain (decisions) isn't always logical (so far as we can see).
There may,
at some time, be a complete enough description, so that we can see the processes involved and "Yup, I can follow that. Should'a seen it earlier".
But to claim that the brain IS logical is to imply that a given input will produce a logical, predictable output. That's not the case.
