Yes, the brains definitely has mechanics of its own, it is some sort of hard-drive with embedded (and embeddable) operating system in a way which can't outsmart it's own installed drivers, so to speak. This is my current guess, though i am no expert at neuroscience. I for the very first i my life had lucky and an arranged by one of our professors in AI chance to have scientifically friendly visit to anatomy institute of local medical university - we were shown human brain sections under microscope and see the thing with our own eyes They went as far as even showing few real ones up-close as well.
There is so much specialized cell structures there doing lots, lots of chemistry and energy conversions, manipulations to enable our thinking - ...that just by looking at thing it becomes suddenly clear why medical scientists with ease can say nobody knows everything about the brain.
Worries of brain being something mechanic might be displaced, we don't have to worry about it - it is mechanic, and that's good news. Folks can study it and this mechanic is not overly primitive either. We will not ever need to control our heartbeat rate by our own thoughts, brain will do it by default for us automatically, as many other things. Probably taking large part out of our humanly imagined FreeWill along the process, very, very probably but that is just my current personal accepted hypothesis, i don't know how it truly is. As i allow myself to see it - even not having free will, or lets say having a really limited one due to biological constraints (as it may turn out be discovered, explained, accepted possibly in some future) don't quite "steal" anything from person being quite a unique unit always and guaranteed anyways to some degree (lesser or more - dependently on what social value's society and progress level this unit lives in.)
So yes, Taron, i am with you on that about our brains.
When i drew that verve paint i was truly exhausted
I remember having one interesting semi-bug, not sure that it was bug but it appeared to be so and it helped me in a way. Those perfectly straight horizontal lines at the bottom of drawing.... . I honestly wouldn't know how to achieve such perfect straight lines in verve. It maybe might be possible if you place on top of tablet some linear object and draw along its line, but i don't have tablet; yes, i am still drawing everything with a mouse ; probably i got so used to this it absolutely don't bother me anymore in a slightest.
Lines sort of "created themselves" almost out of nowhere across all the canvas, on the level of one additional upper layer at some point of painting session whenever i tried to do anything on that layer, be it brushing or smearing. I just deleted lines in most parts of canvas and left there at bottom as integral part of image
Verve helped me in such mysterious way too
Now the semester is over, only exams ahead and in-between i finally will have days off. What you said about brain associations made me quite automatically start to think about semantic webs and Marvin Minsky, Peipert and those fellas. Maybe i should paint them (or some other science dude or 'dudesses') one day, by the way? It striked me just now
As for A.I. with motivation, i can recall one really interesting piece of paper that i happened to read, it was quite intriguing. Publication described a project from 2008 or something around it about funny looking and named robot Cog in MIT lab. They were trying to study there what and how such thing as artificial sleep/dreams could be induced in robot. I can only invite to try look up for papers on that, it was adventurous reading. I liked the robot's name - Cog.
