Neurons that fire together, wire together, but how?

What if something about the electrical signal attracts growth in certain direction, toward other signals firing at the same time?

Or what if some neuron pairs that are not yet connected share quantum entangled structures, that if activated simultaneously ... but still how does direction occur?

What if neurons emit light, that's why you can stimulate them with light...and what if they can somehow detect the faint light from other neurons and get the direction the light comes from, and grow towards that?

You are getting downvoted for speculating on Quantum entanglement, but I think all of your speculations are useful here and to be encouraged.

Thank you. so you work in this area? what do you think about the software available for your research? Could it be better or does software not play so much of a role?

Yes the software in this area is critical -- and there are major challenges.

If it's not too much trouble could you point me to some resources, compilations of relevant software? Maybe I could add some value...
