Abstract
Using the most general models, we show that molecular motion concerned with transmission of the nervous impulse across the synapse is indeterminate (in the sense of Heisenberg). This occurs despite the assumption of a minimal uncertainty product and the taking into account of the nature of the random walk. Consequences of the interposition of an indeterminate process in nervous system function are detailed by investigation of the operation of a “quantized” Turing machine. Such a generalized algorithm has been taken by some investigators to be the starting point for building analogues to brain function. The brain, with a demonstrated indeterminate basis for at least one of its “levels” of operation, has capabilities or modes of operation not able to be mimed by the most general calculating engine.
