True but behind that system of heuristics sits a deterministic algorithm that some logic circuits mindlessly execute.
Different from the electrochemical signalling between neurons in what way, exactly?
I would like to think different in the way that we can feel them happening in our brains. A heuristic system doesn't feel its logic circuits or anything for that matter. You could counter that feelings are just another type of system I suppose but I would say that makes you alienated. They put people on antipsychotics for thinking they are a robot you know :-)
'feel it's logic circuits'?
Emotions are implemented in the human brain as networks of neurons 'firing' and chemical reactions.
What would make that not possible to emulate in electronics?
You have to remember that all that happens in your mind - you emotions and you thaught - happens through matter. All of those processes can be emulated in synthetic systems.
