lattices points as neurons?

I had this thought:

Perhaps successions of musical pitches
as modelled on the lattice diagram,
of the type I've been referring to lately as
'direct lattice connections', *do* travel along
different rungs and axes in combination,
similar to the way electricity flows thru switches
in a computer circuit.

Perhaps there is a process similiar
to semiconductor electronics or neural networking
which is happening in music in our perception of pitch,
and which can be shown in a time-dependant way on the lattice.

Perhaps in some way each lattice point
(which represents a pitch) acts as a switch,
which can allow the passage of the musical succession
to any of its connections, but which follows rules of some kind
which determine which of the pitches, axes, etc., follows next.

Any ideas?
