Intelligence Frontier: FFT Attention and Global Coherence Without Collapse
tallmetommy · x · 2026-07-30
Discussing the idea that the brain uses Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) for memory and thinking, the author suggests that while the brain may not literally run FFTs, intelligence likely emerges by moving between local representations and shared spectral structures. The true frontier isn't Fourier vs. attention, but achieving global coherence without identity collapse.
