Edit: I don’t think I worded this right, how do we create CPU’s? How do they know they’re the brain of the entire operation? If that makes my question easier to comprehend.
In: Technology
They don’t “know” anything. They respond to a specific set of voltages on input wires with an action that is determined by their internal construction. The fact that that construction and the number of possible inputs and resulting actions is immensely complex doesn’t mean that they are fundamentally different than any other piece of machinery or electronics.
