The Connectome Copy-Paste Hypothesis: Structural Analysis of Whole-Brain Emulation Claims
[EDITORIAL NOTE: This analysis examines a prospective scenario based on current research trajectories. The Eon Systems demonstration referenced as occurring in "March 2026" is a projected development used to explore structural questions about whole-brain emulation. All technical claims about FlyWire and Shiu models are grounded in published 2024 research.] In the projected scenario, Eon Systems … Continue reading The Connectome Copy-Paste Hypothesis: Structural Analysis of Whole-Brain Emulation Claims
