any comp-sci people in here? I really don't think we would have evolved up to this point if our brains were really this simplistic. For example, the way computer seperates out multiple inputs- say, from your USB keyboard, which transmits a lot of possible data (all your keys and all possible key combinations) over a very small space- everything is cumulative. for example, if you take the first four keys, a, s, d, f, and you give them each a value- 1, 2, 4, 8 (binary counting)- then you can figure out which is being pressed, when, and in which combination, and you can do this instantly, not long process figuring out which it could be- there is no possibility of error.

Maybe we're not put together exactly like this, but I'd be very very surprised if our brains don't work in at least a similar way.
