Most current models don't use only binary, 0 or 1, in their neural networks. I seem to remember a paper suggesting they could, but I don't know of any that currently do. Most are trained at fp32, with ~4 billion possible energy levels per "neuron". That can be reduced to as few as 16 levels in practical use, but the more the model is quantized this way the worse it performs.

Processing only part of a network is sometimes done too. Entire layers can easily be skipped, often with interesting results. Other kinds of partitioning would seem to be harder.

This feels like what's known as a house of cards. Are the spots on Trump's hand from an IV? Almost certainly. Did it contain an Alzheimers drug? That's very speculative.

An old person falling asleep can be caused by many things. Congestive heart failure is one. That condition is also associated with cankles. Trump said the MRI was of his torso, heart area, not brain area. This is another house of cards, but it looks a bit stronger to me.
