It's not possible to separate the human aspects of thought from it's definition in this context. We think about feelings and emotions and they are fuel to change our thinking. A mechanical computer can "think" just like an electrical one. A series of gears and pulleys can produce a difference of information to the observer. Reducing thought away from the human gives you a recursive spiral down to the bottom of physics. It needs to be embodied in a human or you hit philosophical problems.
