Define computer. Define computation. You say these terms aren't arbitrary, okay. Exactly what are they, as you take them to mean? You say it considers specific types of processing-- what, exactly, are they and why do you believe so? You say it considers a specific set of structures-- what, exactly, are they and why do you believe so?
The last time I asked you to give me details about your view, you told me you weren't going to do my homework for me. But let me say-- I'm interested enough in your argument to read your posts. . . but not to buy a book or to spend any non-trivial amount of time researching it on my own. So you'll have to explain your position sufficiently well that we can know for sure what a "comp mind" is, and why you think that's what every mind must be.
Maybe the reason I'm over-generalizing your position is that you haven't provided enough specifics?
