The author focuses on the question of the possibility of using a network approach to study thinking provoked by studies of the structure of the brain (neural networks). The use of logical calculus as a network (conclusions as graph edges) is proposed. It is fixed that if we consider the so-called post-systems as these calculi, then the inference rules are considered simply as the rules for the transition from one abstract object to another within the framework of an abstract “quasi-logical” system (neural network). It is substantiated that it is possible to associate with neural “logic” logical systems that describe various types of connections of mental states, using the method of combining logical systems. It has been established that such a logical technique allows for a pair of such “logics” to find some “united” logical system that will have all the properties determined by the succession relations of both systems. Based on the Wittgensteinian position, according to which “logical sentences describe the scaffolding of the world, or rather depict them”, the conclusion is made about the heuristic nature of such an “image” of the consciousness functioning.
