A leech (Hirudinea) has 32 brains throughout its segmented body. An Octopus (Octopoda) has 9 brains, one for its head and 8 for its arms (legs?).
How do these animals process tasks using multiple brains? It would suck if 3 out of your 8 arms wanted to go find a place to hide while your brain and other 5 arms are actively hunting.

The brains don’t have their own opinions they are there for specific functions. The octopus tells the brains in the legs it wants to move to x place and the brains limited to controlled movement make it so.
They are not a community of brains having a communal chat
