Forget simple chains from genes to brain to behaviour; neuroscientists are overturning decades of dogma. | https://iai.tv/articles/neuroscience-needs-a-new-paradigm-the-brain-is-not-a-machine-auid-3338 Award-winning neuroscientist Nicole Rust argues that the brain is a dynamic complex system, more like the weather than a machine, whose parts
CT says effective calculations are Turing-computable. It does not say every physical system is Turing-computable. That’s a separate thesis, and it is not established by CT. So the conclusion is an assumption, not QED... cc:
