[FRIAM] Brain as Quantum Computer Hallucinating Math

[glen]

Ugh! Even after reading linked article <https://neurosciencenews.com/math-neurons-20067/> and skimming the paper <https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(22)00116-6>, I don't get the connection to quantum computing. OK, sure. Predictive processing, higher order operators over distributions, and parallelism/connectionism all bear some relation to QC. And, I guess, as we develop programming languages for QCs, it's reasonable they'll be expressive enough to cover those types of computation better than languages we like to use for ordinary computers. But otherwise, what am I missing? How does this have anything to do with QC?
