Of course not, even in a living brain they're represented through electric

On my hard-disc called brain.

Good question by the way. Reminds me that McElroy's "Plus" is still waiting
for me.

Ah, phenomenology ...

Well, first there was darkness and the darkness was empty. Then there was
me, and I was floating in the darkness. And I said there shall be light.
(or something like that, read Allan Dean Foster's "Dark Star" or watch John
