Neural Optimization Postulate

 That human neural networks enhance net performance by using organic ambient changes in geometry or differential of ionic ratio/charge in adjacent non-sentient tissues ( blood, fat, glia, etc.) as a complementary signal processing system. If true, it should predict outsized or unaccountably absent effects from site-specific injury & pathology - & that measured peak mental acuity will exceed the demonstrable neuronal capacity used to reach it.
