A computer is not loose, nor is it arbitrarily defined. A computer is extremely precisely and specifically defined, and is fully deterministic. A single bit in the wrong place can destroy an entire system. A human mind is non-deterministic and the analogy of mind and machine is deeply flawed.
- EncomLab 2y agoIt is deeply flawed - all analogies are to some extent or another - the point still correlates with observable facts. Both systems require energy to function, removal of energy causes both systems to stop producing observable functions, and there is nothing observable that would indicate either system transfers it's functions into another state where those functions continue.
