One aspect of what I call "fidelity" is the degree to which the emulation incorporates various aspects of neurophysiology.
For example, the emulation might or might not incorporate:
-Good models of fluid flow within the brain, and between the brain, the blood and the cerebrospinal fluid.
-Good models of the components of the blood itself, and how these components would influence brain activity.
I am opening this thread to test the hypothesis that SuperIntelligence is plausible but that Whole-Brain Emulations would most likely become obsolete before they were even possible.
Further, given the ability to do so, entities which were near to being Whole-Brain Emulations would rapidly choose to cease to be near Whole-Brain Emulations and move on to become something else.
I'll let people fire back with discussion and references before presenting more evidence. My hope is to turn this thread into something publishable in the end.
