Thanks for work and sharing it.

@pallada-92

I recorded my first impressions here as a video https://vimeo.com/485900573 and your work helped me to think about protein folding and light's role in it.

Hi, Vetrivel!

I have maths/cs background and know very little about biology and chemistry of such fluids and don't know, whether they exist.

I've read through your ideas: they sound pretty exotic and I am not sure, that I understand them correctly. It is not obvious, that fluid dynamics is easier to understand for average person, than the maths of activation functions. Also, it is hard for me to imagine, how to visualize typical neuron network with thousands of connections.

From the philosophical point of view, I liked the idea, that the observer can look at his neural network, see the flow of fluids, and that vision will change that flow. So, it is like a minimalistic model of self-consciousness.

I do not think, that with the current level of neural networks science it is possible to achieve self-consciousness in such way. However, that model could give interesting insights in psychology and neurology, for example: how to treat epilepsy by allowing person to see visualization of the processes in his brain etc.
