To me 'computation' comes from transformation and abstraction (ie what you might call classes in logic, but the neural equivalent... lines into shapes into objects etc) rather than whatever you mean by it.-which is why I explained that it's not theory dependent. That it can be done is evident; how we do it, if we do it, if it happens, is not. It's not that it "doesn't fit", that if such a situation were present it would somehow contradict or argue against your theory or mine (or any theory). A non-functional objection.

Quote:That's a reasonable conclusion but me being me I like to be exact... so if possible I'd always prefer a detailed explanation than a vague 'probably'. So therefore the question still remains open to me but it's not pressing.Agreed, which is why the concrete examples of automatic processes in biology and the concrete example of how ccurrently understood computational architectures handle timing discrepancy are so useful. We seek to unravel and understand the unknown by reference to the known.
Not disagreeing with you or arguing a theory vs another, discussing the mechanics of how we approach a logical analysis of claims pursuant to either(any).
