If the brain were so simple: Information-based drivers of intelligence and their interaction through an n-body-inspired framework

Brett J. Kagan, Johnson Zhou, Forough Habibollahi +1

Theories of how the brain processes information and returns intelligent outputs are numerous and often difficult to conclusively test. Here, we consider an approach grounded in inf…
