None of that changes whether there is a physical capacity, which I think was the larger point? There is no reason to believe distributed memory doesn't suffer from the capacity component of the bottleneck. In fact iirc there was some late 80s/early 90s papers on the memory capacity of NN. Btw I would advise against the absolute statement that there's absolute segregation of memory and processing.

I guess my point is the brain not being "von Neumann" in architecture or digital is not proof that isn't a "computer" of some sort.
