Where is the reasoning in linear regression?

Where is the reasoning in synaptic transmission?

  • There isn't, which is exactly the point: we do not yet understand the fundamentals behind reasoning.

    • Don’t we? We can build something which has all the output associated with reasoning.

      I’d say we’ve figured out the fundamentals behind reasoning.

    Reasoning is an emergent property of complex systems. Prediction is not. Thus you cannot claim reasoning drives prediction.
