Not to spoil your scheme, psimagus, but the human brain actually stores information in trinary, not binary. At least, according to my taiji instructor who also teaches cognitive psychiatry.
Our neurons appear to be trinary, yes (http://cbcl.mit.edu/cbcl/news/files/liu-tp-picower.html,) coding +1, 0 and -1 states. But we only have 10^10 - 10^11 neurons in our brains. Each neuron forms anything from 100 - 1000 synaptic connections with other neurons, and these synapses can only fire or not fire - that's a binary process. That this binary effect results from, and is to some extent configured by, a trinary process in the neurons isn't strictly relevant if we are primarily modelling the synaptic behaviour.
But even so - even if we allow that the brain is more complex than an electronic 10^14 bit synaptic net can model - it makes the numbers bigger, that's all. The human brain is still a finite state processor, and thus the set of all possible combinations is necessarily finite.
Our brains are an existence proof that this level of computing is possible with finite resources.
brain size/structure &c.:

I have a bunch of freinds u should see my freind list its full of them
Yeah - unfortunately they're all the 20+ blank bots you and Myer uploaded this afternoon from the "JAKKY", "Snowlight2" and "bunnyboo" accounts.
And with most of them languishing at development zero, they can only say "I was just born and can't speak well yet".

Beleive it or not I missed you roxie... when I came back online the day after i was shocked to see that not every forum had at least 1 post on it... It took some adjusting to, to get back into the old ways... but now that your back... i can now know when you have been here.
Jakky, try ICQ chat - teen page. there are plenty of immature, hormone driven people to have cyber sex with there. This site is for the development of bots. Hell, you can even build a flirtacious sex bot if you like, but at least take the effort to build a bot.
I think you'll find the Colonel has no shortage of friends, Jakky. And at least he doesn't have to make his out of punctuation.
