Yes. I see nothing here not already covered by this, this, and this.
Your final conclusion is like saying that the computation done by computers doesn't involve arithmetic. It's *flow of electric charge*. The charge flows around, then settles down in some stable point in the sea of possible distributions. ETA: On that point, see also this.
No, it's not. Associational processing can emulate logical thinking, but it's not restricted to it and will not normally produce it. Restrictions have to be added for logic to arise out of the sea of associations.
In other words, we have to learn logic, we're not born with it. This is news?
Electric charge doesn't spontaneously do arithmetic either.
