In article <1628@buengc.BU.EDU> bph@buengc.bu.edu (Blair P. Houghton) 
wonders what we would expect a topologically and neuromimetically
accurate model of a brain to think.

I imagine the simulated brain would take stock of the situation
and inquire of its creator, "To what purpose or goal shall I devote
my ability to think?"

And if you were the creator of that simulated brain, how would you answer
that simulated question?
