The brain itself seems to have bottlenecks that aren&#x27;t distance related, like hemispheres and the corpus callosum that are preserved over all placental mammals and other mammalian groups have something similar and still hemispheres. Maybe it&#x27;s just an artifact of bilateral symmetry that is stuck in there from path dependence, or forcing a redundancy to make damage more recoverable, but maybe it has a big regularizing or alternatively…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2305.08746/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
