Quote:The only difference is that we organize the computation of computers in a way that is useful to us. It's all just stuff happening.Again, you''re simply wrong. The organization is required (though we aren't required as organizers), "stuff happening" is not computation.
Quote:Well heck, man, let's go ahead and declare them then. What's the difference between your computational mind and a hunk of rock?The comp mind meets the requirements of a computational system whilst the rock does not.

It's not my model of mind. . . it's yours.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
