GIGO?

Patterns within. Patterns without. Patterns of patterns is what people seem to be made of. It is of more than passing curiosity that the central network is nimble when it comes to recognizing patterns that are present in sound and in photons. When it comes to sound, the most interesting aspect is the decomposition that occurs, and the importance that is given to the to the rising and falling edges of the wave patterns that compose the easier sounds.

It is possible to mix a great many simple tones together into a complex pattern, and as such, the network can discern not only the original tones, but has a great appreciation and resonance with the results of these simple tones combining to create great peaks of energy and ebbing to the softness of a whisper.

It is also worth noting that a great range of sound can be produced, although of a single tone or wave, by People. Not to be hampered by this, their ability to take an input and reproduce it, sometimes poorly at first, and then refine it to match the original pattern, is uncanny. This is a trick that appears to be at the core of pattern building and pattern transfer and the whole concept of communication. And I though talk-taps were cool.
