There is no "we" that know this, it is your personal fantasy. You just
come up with "distributed" because you don't understand. You simply
obfuscate the matter with complexity, because you can't handle a
decision at a precise location.

No decisions are grouned in the brain, not just referenced by. The mind
resides in the brain and makes decisions. It's not an abstract notion
but common knowledge you are arguing against.

Rubbish, I'm just arguing against racist notions of material heritable
spiritual attributes. So then we have dog decisions, decisions which
wag their tail, and bunnyrabit decisions, decisions which hop around,
and of course Jewish decisions which lie and cheat, and Aryan decisions
which love and care. That's your game by insisting that decisions are
grounded in material and your Darwinist science of love , the racism is
basically inevitable.

You're right. They are not small and grey, or big and blue, or spikey
and a hue of purple. They have no shape, size or colour. Decisions are
a thought process that leads to action by a person or other intelligent
entity. They are similair to calculations and calculations may make up
part of a decision.

If they are similar to calculations then why do calculators not decide
anything at all? Of course calculation has nothing to do with it, as
decisions require an alternative.

Urm, no. Emergent propoeties are to do with interaction of elements,
not atoms and very much not probabilities. You're not even in the right
ball park here, sorry.

It's what I read of Feynman, I'm quite sure what you say is rubbish, as
it doesn't even make sense. It is just quasi-sophisticated mumbo jumbo
with no logical progression in it. Again, emergence depends on many
probabilistic actors behaving similarly.
