So I am probably slightly off on everything I'm about to say, but at least it's interesting, and I'm a bad enough scientist to say that's what matters:
1. So first off, I think that vast clumps of matter these days (galaxies in the like) are from quantum fluctuations that were massively stretched by inflation in the inflationary theory
2. Information coding in the hippocampus from the dentate gyrus to CA3 (and vice versa) is very sparse. The dentate gyrus (I think... if I were actually studying and not philosphizing maybe I would know)is responsible for pattern separation, or taking subtle differences in pattern and inflating them in the neural circuitry long enough for the brain to discern differences (ie did you park in row E or row F in the thirty-row parking lot?).
3. My idea: what inflation does to quantum fluctuations in the early universe (separates them into discernible fluctuations), the dentate gyrus does to information from CA3 in the hippocampus.
It's just an analogy, but it's at least more interesting than the enolization reactions I am vainly struggling to re-memorize.
