The concept of a Universal Turing Machine (UTM) suggests that, given enough time and memory, it can compute anything that is computable. By extension, if human cognition is computable, a sufficiently advanced computational system could, in theory, model and explain it. This doesn't necessarily mean we'll easily achieve this understanding, as the computation required might be extremely complex and time-consuming. But it does suggest that the explanation of cognition isn't fundamentally beyond reach, even if we're using the system to explain itself.
