Ask HN: Is the Brain a Computer or an Antenna?

When building artificial intelligence systems, is it enough to consider consistencies at the atomic level as building blocks (computer), or do we need to dig deeper into lower level structures that might enjoy non-local interaction (antennas)?

(In my view the reality is made of onion like slices, each layer is made of feedback loops interacting together while preserving certain properties - invariants that are used for the next layer to build up higher order consistencies. Feedback loops develop and change over time due to disability to reproduce perfectly as they need to rely on a semi-stable environment - other feedback loops.)
