Engrams in Neurology and Scientology (Don't worry, be happy)

Do you all know why our brains are so wrinkled and stuff? No, the official explanation does not hold (and that tells us a lot about the state of today's neurology, psychiatry, etc.). "To increase the surface of the gray matter". It is so naive. Gray matter is neurons and neurons work in 3D networks. Why would they need to have an increased surface?

I believe the explanation is to have or keep different concentrations or gradients of neurotransmitters within those curls, and that would also make the specialization of areas of the brain which anatomically are not different from each other. They just hold different (dynamic, gradient or wave like) concentrations of neurotransmitters.

I believe the so called neural networks reside within the lobes which then are interconnected through white matter with each other. However, the lightening fast processes following the paths of engrams that make the cycles of information through those networks do not leave the boundary of one region (curl of white matter) where they enter as stimuli and leave as a result or shall i say... resolve?

I once tried to make a link between the IT concept of binary processing and transmitting of information (binary been here number 0 or 1, signal or no signal, etc.) and the so called brain's neural networks. But the analogy ends here, there are no CPUs counting low level instructions at high speed, most of the processes in the brain being fast outputs following inputs (of each both can be internal from another area of the brain or external directly from sensorial stimulation) all done on unique pathways yes according to our past experiences (written gates) we may call engrams.

And yes, the writing of the engrams (gates) is an extremely slow process we call early education, school, life experience, etc.

I do now believe the networks described in that post are actually engrams and there is a unique written network for each engram which holds a written output for every combination of inputs) mediated by the gates at the synapses and the physical links between neurons are mostly blank gates and not "written", pretty much like a flash memory (except for those so called hard wired through birth (ROM) like those described as "somatic mind" by Hubbard.

However the output is also mediated by the combination of neurotransmitters in one curl at the time of the triggering of the engram by a stimuli or a conscious decision so basically we cannot talk about engrams except in a well established or stable neurotransmitter combination, which may include mood.

Given the fact the engrams are unique for an individual, mainly due to the fact the combination of neurotransmitters which soaks an area (curl) varies in analogous (as opposed to digital) thus unpredictable way and there is a unique intersection of gradients for each synapse, within each gyrus, you cannot possibly eliminate an engram by recreating the combination of neurotransmitters at every synapse part of the engram.

This way, though the signal that passes through gates is digital, the direction or the gates which it passes through is not predictable with a high degree of precision.

However i believe you can create parallel engrams that would somehow shortcut the original ones, making them... less painful, in case of traumatic ones by rougly re-creating that combination of neurotransmitters (moods, memories). Or by re-writing an enough number of gates part of a traumatic engram, you can actually destroy it or diminish its output to the point it cannot trigger the opposite of reward anymore (re-triggering a motivational cycle).

I also believe the "physiological" need for engrams, which is unique to humans came through evolution for the reason of storing information about events in our past which will increase our experiences and chances for survival in the future in the case we physically survive those events, and the purpose for the "traumatic engrams" which are not ending in a reward, is to store "motivational pain" that can be re-triggered by similar circumstances, or consciously through training in order to eliminate the cause for trauma after analyzing those engrams out of the constraints of real time and extinguish them in a "natural way" and not simply getting rid of them at the level of the "reactive" mind which i believe auditing does.

And yes i believe they can be a burden if stored indefinitely and not dealing with them at the earliest time possible especially for people not trained or not having time to deal with their own mind.

There are also ways to disconnect them from both the so called reactive mind and conscious mind and that without the costly auditing sessions. And one way is completely eliminating emotions from one's mind.
