The discussion centers on identifying the most complex circuits that cannot be easily broken down into simpler, functional blocks. Participants mention various examples, including the cubic-function generator and self-saturating magnetic amplifiers, noting their intricate behaviors and applications. The conversation highlights the challenges of analyzing circuits with chaotic behavior and the nonlinearity of certain components, which complicates mathematical modeling. Additionally, there are references to the historical significance of magnetic amplifiers and their resurgence in modern technology. Overall, the thread explores the curiosity surrounding complex circuit designs and their operational intricacies.

Does not function as a single irreducible block. :cool:

When you say it's not irreducible, could you not just say it is built with a high level of redundancy and fault tolerance? Could it not be looked upon as an entity?

wait'll it becomes sentient. we'll need a whole new field of psychology.

Isn't is 'sentient" already (with the help of all its acolites)?
