P.S. I find it really difficult to discuss this with computationalists.
Since you live inside your model, and think there is nothing outside (see also your Bengio quote), you are completely blind to what is obviously quite a different reality your live in.
Computationalism is a comforting illusion for those who like their world tidy & predictable. They tend to fiercely refuse to embrace the fact that there is so much beyond mechanism in the world.

@tyrell_turing@fediscience.org There is nothing mystical or obscure about physical processes that are not mechanisms. If organism can realize relevance, they cannot be completely captured by algorithmic computation, without breaking any known laws of physics. That kind of argument is already published. See Rosen's work (e.g. "Life Itself"), Deacon's "Incomplete Nature," or my own "Fourth Perspective" on evolution: https://osf.io/2g7fh.
