I find that most of what my brain does is pattern interpretation.  I receive
various sensory input in the form of various kinds of vibrations (i.e.
eletromagnetic and acoustic) and my brain perceives patterns in this muck.
Then it attaches meanings to the patterns.  Within limits, I can attach these
meanings at will.  The process of logical deduction a la Socrates takes up
a negligible time-slice in the CPU.
