Claims (2)

claim

Newtonian mechanics augmented by statistical mechanics cannot explain chemical bond stability or genetic persistence; quantum mechanics is necessary.
introduces
The huge chemical complexity within each synapse suggests that neural models of cognition that refer only to changing weights of synaptic connections and ignore sub-neural chemistry are probably ignoring some of the most important explanatory mechanisms in brains.
introduces
