Fourier transforms are lossless. If it entered the oscillations of senses, it's still there in your brain. You may never need it, but every action is detailed by difference.
replyfourier transforms are lossless, but what impleemntation are you refering to that losslessly implements a fourier transform?
replyto my knowledge practical fourier transforms set a number of sine waves they will calculate for, and a window of time to look at. these limitations result in loss.
but, just taking the brain, at some point the person will die and decompose. how are you gonna get the oscillations back out of the rotted flesh? there has to be some form of loss to the brain
We only need brains when we're alive, so extracting the points isn't required.
replyIn terms of brains, the math is used to model the irreducible occurrences in brains - that everything is still in there. So the math only gives us a window into the complexity. Brains don't compute or calculate necessarily. As an analog, or analoga of differences, it never has to exclude, or experience loss.
For the details: Rhythms of the Brain or Unlocking the Brain both volumes.
Math is models, not reality
