a. I don't think the Bekenstein Bound is relevant here.
b. The commenter below has a point. We don't know whether consciousness is theoretically reducible to an algorithm or not. All we know is that we can't at the moment, and we don't even know where to begin. So the answer is unknown.

A system with finite information can be encoded as a finite state automoton. Our brain is contained within a finite volume, ergo, our brain is at best a finite state automoton. > We don't know whether consciousness is theoretically reducible to an algorithm or not. We do unless you want to rewrite physics. Which some people do with panpsychism. There seems little compelling reason to though.
