I'll clean-up my prior reply, a bit.

| =ALL= of this

'left-brain' / 'right-brain'

| stuff has been Resolved
| in AoK, in particular, in Ap6, all along,
| there being reduced to TD E/I-minimiz-
| ation 'within' the "special topological
| homeomorphism of central nervous
| systems" [AoK, "Short Paper"], includ-
| ing the information-processing ration-
| ales of stuff like "cortical stripes", "cort-
| ical columns", the union of symmetry
| and asymmetry amongst the various
| cortical areas, and how and why every-
| thing is Simply-Ordered in TD E/I-min-
| imization.
|
| The 'presumption' that "left" and "right"
| hemispheres 'are functionally-differen-
| tiated' is Unsustainable because the <- edited [the " ' "]
| corpus callosum connects the hemi-
| spehres massively, which is =in= the
| special topological homeomorphism.

And the massive-interconnectedness
instantiated by the corpus callosum
[and the other commissures] cascades
neural activation =throughout= the nerv-
ous system, ramifying =throughout= the
ipsilaterally-mapped "protopathic sys-
tem" [AoK, Ap3] and the contralateral-
ly-mapped "epicritic system" [ibid.]

| When folks sever the corpus callosum
| [and the other commissures], the re-
| sult is not a "nervous system" but an
| artificially-instantiated entity that is no
| longer a nervous system.
|
| Then, folks 'presume' what the latter
| does is what "nervous systems" do,
| which is False. When the corpus cal-
| losum is severed, the result is anal-
| ogous to taking a knife to some of
| the "bus" circuits in a computer -- af-
| ter doing so, the thing is no longer a
| "computer", and, if any 'functionality'
| remains, that 'functionality' can only
| be interpreted with respect to the
| formerly-globally-integrated circuitry.
|
| There exists no "purpose" -- no ac-
| tual functionality -- in what remains
| of the artificially-altered circuitry.
|
| Folks who interpret "split [brain]" ex- <- edited
| periments as 'disclosing-function-
| ality' are just looking at artificially-al-
| tered stuff without remembering that,
| since it's artificially-altered, no matter
| where they look in "the brain", they're
| only seeing subsets of 'normal' func-
| tionality. Not comprehending global-
| ly-integrated-TD E/I-minimization,
| they 'presume' that the =partial= stuff
| 'is what normally occurs' in nervous
| systems. It isn't. It's a =deficit= cond-
| ition, no matter where one looks in
| artificially-altered 'brain'.
|
| The "left-right" stuff is 'just' a subset
| of the how and why the special topol-
| ogical homeomorphism instantiates
| on-the-inside-looking-out-ness with
| respect to consciousness, cognition,
| behavior, affect, etc., as has been dis-
| cussed in AoK all along.
|
| The 'differences' between the hemi-
| spheres correlate with stuff like the
| differences between a "right-arm's"
| and a "left-arm's" coordinated behav-
| ioral necessities -- it'd be completely
| [and absurdly] -dysfunctional if the
| same-stuff [the same neural dynam-
| ics] occurred in, say, left and right
| primary motor cortices that activate
| "arm" musculature.

Which does happen in 'split-brains' -- 
one arm will 'compete' with the other
arm, etc., and this 'competition' is re-
flected in 'multi-consciousnesses',
the =main= thing being the absence
of unified consciousness and affect,
purposfully-coordinated-effector-ac-
tivations, body-portion-neglect, etc.

The 'presumption' that "this stuff" 'oc-
curs in the left hemisphere', and "that
stuff" 'occurs in the right hemisphere"
is Completely-False. =Everything=
that occurs 'within' a nervous system
is tightly-globally-integrated in TD E/I-
minimization.

=Yes= processing is distributed, but
it's distributed in a highly-plastic way
with respect to the =one= 'goal' of TD
E/I-minimization, and what'll be 'loc-
ated' =anywhere= is Determined =ex-
perientially= -- this stands Verified in
a g'zillion Neuroscience experiments,
and in Psychologists' Studies of lang-
uage-interface deficits relative to Native-
Asians and Native-Occidentals, which
reflects written-symbol-usage differen-
tials =in-experience=, =including= when
folks, regardless of 'ethnic'-genomics,
migrate into non-Native external-exper-
iential environments, and assimilate in-
tergenerationally, or when international
adoptions occur. There's Zero 'mystery'
in the fact that, when experiential 'pres-
sures' so-alter, so does functional-dif-
ferentiation -- be-cause what's actually
happening is TD E/I-minimization opt-
imization with respect to what's =actual-
ly= experienced -- with respect to the
neural activation that =actually= occurs
'within' a nervous system. This TD E/I-
minimization optimization literally
=shapes= the neural Topology so that
TD E/I-minimization occurs optimally
with respect to the external-experiential
environment in which a nervous system's
host-organism must Survive.

| =All= of the so-called ~"hemispher-
| ical functional biases" are exactly
| like this with respect to globally-in-
| tegrated TD E/I-minimization.
|
| 'normal' nervous systems are 'wired-
| up' in minimal-distance ways with re-
| spect to the =one=, globally-integrated
| purpose of achieving TD E/I-minimiz-
| ation [AoK, Ap9.]
|
| This minimization of circuit lengths
| that's in TD E/I-minimization distrib-
| utes functionality, and, hence, guides
| neural plasticity, and 'local'-functional-
| ity-differentiation in ways that [derive] <- edited
| solely in experience.
|
| The Genome is optimized to do =that=,
| not the other way around.
|
| [I discussed how and why the genome
| is activated and driven by experience-
| determined 3D-E ["3D-Energydynamics"]
| during my last online 'life', doing so all
| the way down to just-energy.]
|
| Anyway, it's all been in AoK [and the
| Refs cited in AoK], all along.
| [...]

So, "why don't folks just read AoK?"

[That failing, why not just ask a question
instead of all this 'subterfuge'?]
