I doubt it can explain how it works.
But it obviously does work.

Likely they are distributed throughout a brain in ways that it is not necessary for anyone or anything to understand.

You first. You do seem to think that you design circuits, but you don't
tell us about them in the kind of way that suggests that you actually
designed them.

That's Horowitz and Hill's text-book, and while that may contain their discussion of the design of one of your circuits, it's not your discussion - more an after-the-fact rationalisation of what you ended up doing.
Creationist see intelligent design in the way living beings happen to work, but that's all after-the-fact rationalisation too.
