I could keep listing things that involve change of states that persist over time and have effects, aka processing, and you can keep saying that your comp mind is a special snowflake. So why don't you say what's special about it in terms that cannot be applied to anything that doesn't for sure have mind, and be done with it?You could list things off things that change states, sure. Not all of them will be processors...... and fewer still will be computers.
