firing and farting out a well formed thought. I'm talking about

Yes, and this 'point' (and others you've made) confirms what I've been

But neuron(s) firing is.

I'm saying that the best minds of today say this and to the best of my
ability to grok such issues, I agree. Of course, the notion isn't new
at all and has been around for a very long time; however, that isn't
very important in our current discussion.
I do agree that things that appear to be physical are just that…
appearances only.
When deconstructed either by scientific inquiry and/or contemplation,
the nature of physicality as we interpret it on a daily basis just
melts away.
