Please interpret the following statements for me in terms of the behavior of the physical world, and tell me which branch of physics deals with the behavior of each:

Behavior of: concept-representations constructed of activation patterns in neural nets

I think you can figure out the branches of science (and their relationships to the underlying physics) yourself.
