Thank you, Harsha-ji, for the shoutout.
Well spotted on the similarity. Here's the plot from the same analysis as @dlevenstein.bsky.social 's, for the Spiking NN model in my paper (Fig 5).
'It looks like a duck, unknown if it quacks like a duck ...'
![According to Brhaspati, thinking is due to the four constitutive
principles of matter, just as the power to intoxicate is due to the
ingredients in the wine. What we call a human body, or a sense
organ, or a physical object, is just a combination (samudāya; an as-
semblage) of earth, fire, air, and water; indeed, these four kinds of
matter are all there is. A person is a human body endued with think-
ing, and individual lives differ one from another as bubbles differ in
water. Recent work on the reconstruction of Br q haspati’s text allows us
to conjecture that it begins as follows:
1.1 Next then we will examine the nature of the reals.
1.2 Earth, fire, air, and water are the reals.
1.3 Their combination is called the ‘body’, ‘senses’, and ‘objects’.
1.4 Consciousness (caitanya) [is formed] out of these [elementary reals].
1.5 As the power to intoxicate [is formed] out of fermenting ingredients.
1.6 A human being (purus q a) is a body qualified by consciousness.
1.7 [Thinking is] from the body alone.
1.8 Because of its presence when there is a body.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:efplwzzow7blwi7kjetemmnn/bafkreib4gfye6g6yet645svqnompybqc2iwd6afuya5uvgcqik3n4wl7by)
