Just so I understand you correctly, you're saying that the cardinality of the set of all possible states of neurons in one's brain is aleph-null?


Had to look that up again to be sure - no, instead what I'm suggesting is the number of possible states of neurons is infinite, and not countably infinite (implied by a cardinality of aleph-null).

I suggest the number of possible states is infinite since the signals between neurons are analog (though I acknowledge this one-word categorization is a major simplification of the actual process of neuronal stimulation).
