Here we follow historic intuition that all physical information processing systems will share key organizational properties, such as modularity, that generally confer adaptivity of function. It has long been observed that modular VLSI circuits demonstrate an isometric scaling relationship between the number of processing elements and the number of connections, known as Rent’s rule, which is related to the dimensionality of the circuit’s interconnect topology and its logical capacity. We show that human
