Hmm - that's quite a slow process - sure it happens - but I think you'll find that brains can learn on a faster timescale than the growth of connections would enable.
> That growing can not be moved around to another set of neurons, That property is essential to be deemed "software".
Not sure the ability to easily copy is the definition of software. Connections can be activated or attenuated without growth - that's the equivalent of learning your weights. Isn't that cumulative set of attentuations/activations software - ie you remap the input/output engine dynamically?
