>There's no good reasoning that an naturally evolved human brain would operate under one simple, sound, fundamental computing principle. It's far more likely to be a mishmash of unsound models, like all evolved physical characteristics of animals. Quite the opposite, actually. Anything essential to survival and reproduction is optimized for its design constraints quite heavily, resulting in many attributes of observed organisms being physiologically optimal. You should look into the "rational analysis" paradigm in cognitive science.
