... has shown a long time ago. Life is not computable. Behavioral and evolutionary possibility spaces are not prestatable as clearly defined mathematical sets. Your assumption that every physical process *is* Turing-style computation is making the simple mistake of confusing the map (your model of the world) for the territory (the actual world).
Your computationalist worldview is based on a completely unfounded assumption. And it traps you thoroughly within a small world ...

@tyrell_turing@fediscience.org ... as evidenced clearly by your article. Physical systems that are not vonNeumann computers (eg neuromorphic chips) can do a whole lot (in fact, infinitely) more than just calculate the set of Turing-computable functions (bcs they can have real-valued parameters). Just because you *can* perform Turing-computations with them, or model them with a computational model, does not mean such systems *are* literally computers.
