Argument mixes two aspects. First, and correctly, brain is super complex and can not be demixed. Second, and disagreeable, no representation. Complexity is not by itself a reason against representation. It is, however, a good argument against the misleading hubel+Wiesel ideas.https://twitter.com/GunnarBlohm/status/1028982136282533888 …

Well, there can be causal or a-causal dynamical systems (i.e. those that obey counterfactual reality and those that don't). But it is true that the usual paper I read on dynamical systems in the brain rather reads like someone reinvented PCA.

I think that the perspective that the brain is the dynamical system that can maintain nonchaotic dynamics against disturbances by needs and perception is correct but unproductive. Eventually it will come down to causal dynamics on the level of individual neurons or columns.
