Abstract algebraic equations are not closer to biology than the steam engine or clockwork watch.
The latter are at least physical. Gradient descent and inference doesn’t resemble the physical mechanisms that drive neurons at all. Floats and integers aren’t even capable of representing a continuous voltage potential.
