the way the word encourages us to think implies that but reforming isn't the main way the thing works and when we're talking about repurposing we're near enough to just talking about generalization, which you'll note some handwaving in the direction of in the original post

"reforming" is a thing to some extent but it isn't like just switching connections on a patch panel, it's neurogenesis followed by destructive adaptation. we note here that neurogenesis requires low stress and people tend to take breaks before trying major new things

it'd be appreciated if you could (here, DM) expand on your thinking. two things seem possible: - our understandings are similar and compatible but points of reference and wording are causing issues - one of us is less informed re memory/learning and could benefit from a mindmeld

i'm sure it's me, i'm a horrible dilettante in general (or trying to form workable models as quickly as i can without dying in a fractal rabbithole). i had formed an idea of synaptic pruning as more destructive than it is and synthesized a model of pruned structures adapting

i'm exhausted from a bad day at work and i dunno if there's much more expanding i can do but if you feel like giving me an idea of how your indubitably better informed perspective looks on these things i'd be interested

my tweet wasn't meant to be condescending or snarky btw haha, i meant literally every word, read it in a Spock voice was legit interested in trying to deconflict and merge our knowledgesets here

you've obviously read things that suggested or produced this model so

oh, i know! i took it as presented.
i'd say from synaptic pruning i took away a model of a brain starting off "unformatted" and then being "formatted" by learning, then neurogenesis (and ideally psychedelics) "reformatting" and restoring lost plasticity

perfect, okay. already i think i'm less confused. i'll expand on what it is that i think you saw with what i think i know

so the good news is that the extent to which there exists some sort of use-only-once / FPROM-like behavior in learning and neuroplasticity, is probably less severe than you currently think
