An algorithm is a mathematical construct that exists in reality. But that does not mean that reality itself is an algorithm, or can be modeled/predicted by an algorithm. I strongly suspect that it cannot. Therefor it is possible that reality (or that little subset of reality called a human body) has properties like "consciousness" that an algorithm cannot do.
