Yes, you are always free to misunderstand.

The interesting thing is: some do, some do not.

(We have physics, chemistry, and others, exactly to distinguish different levels...)

I understood you to say that parts in the brain communicate by something other than physical means. Is that where I went wrong?

If some of the communications are not by physical means, how does the "not physical means" communication work?

If all of the communications are by physical means, how does the brain have "infinite" interconnect? Am I wrong in believing that one can't have infinite connectivity with physical means?
