> but Ray's right that the brain cannot be more complex than the data that specifies it Indeed, however due to the Kolmogorov complexity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity one can argue both for DNA being a resource and, with more common sense, that DNA and all appropriate resources during a lifetime up to a point where you take a measure of a whole brain all funnels into a resource from which you can describe a brain. And this is only about Kolmogorov Complexity and under assumption that brain is a discrete set. I am not much well read on biology, but I think there were recent advancements where some organisms also showed quantum effects playing a biological role. Even with disregarding our current lack of knowledge we can still argue if brain is a discrete set or not, proving either would be a major contributing factor in our understanding of it I think.
