I’ve studied the underlying biology of neurons and desiring it as 10-20 thousand inputs in 1 millisecond isn’t accurate the way you’re suggesting.

We’re talking about biological processes which have physical limitations on how frequently a neuron can fire as well as a signaling system that based on how rapidly neurons fire. Loops anywhere in the system enforce a minimum 5ms latency and more realistically several times that. A typical neuron is firing closer to 0.1 to 2 times a second. Add to that the physical transmission speed and rapid response doesn’t allow for loops.

There’s a reason reflexes for the feet are handled by the spine that’s got nothing to do with processing power.
