and, btw, this sort of system is easily, and vividly, simulated
via an approach that makes use of red, green, blue (RGB) color
mixing to encode "ionic conductances" (in a non-analog machine,
the color representations are still "state"-bound, but, if one
wants to, the calculation can be extended to any degree of
accuracy by just using arbitrarily-long numbers to interpolate
between the 16M color states of a PC, and having a scalable graph
window to display the interpolation).

this system of stateless calculation breaks all, so-called,
"NP-complete" "barriers"... is limited only by global i/o channel
capacities... whole databases can be taken in, and their main
significance, calculated immediately (in linear "time").
