Huh? You mean he's using all this complexity to explain carrying out the action? I thought he was using it to explain the original choice. I really don't think we need quantum mechanics to explain carrying out an action. And if we do, we need it all over the damn place.

Really, can't classical mechanics explain how a neural net can keep a particular decision alive long enough to carry it out?
