Is the goal simulation or functional equivalence?

For example, to simulate a horse, is it necessary to create legs, or is it okay to build a road and use wheels?




possibly, we don't know yet, but ANNs are not isomorphic to real neurons. If we are talking about a bottom-up approach to intelligence, we have to opt for realistic simulation. If, on the other hand we knew what intelligence is, we can simulate it any way we like.
