@beneuroscience@neuromatch.social @debivort@drosophila.social @yoginho@spore.social @tyrell_turing@fediscience.org @NicoleCRust@neuromatch.social I've mentioned it before, but Piccinini's book "Physical Computation" has a nice breakdown of why pancomputationalism can obscure the specific meaning of computation by applying it to everything, while at the same time being pro- computationalism for brains. I've also taken a course by pancomputationalist Hector Zenil, who has some interesting work on the possibility of an algorithmic nature to the universe and biology, and is a colleague of Stephen Wolfram. The idea goes back farther than the 80's, to Konrad Zuse's 1969 book "Calculating Space"
