Here's a point to consider-- the brain never reaches the exact same state twice, either. It is in a case of constant flux-- the movement of blood, chemicals, neurotransmitters, etc, the cycle of a neuron firing and the time it takes to "recharge" before it can be stimulated again, etc. I have serious doubts that if you could feed the exact same input into a person (something that's impossible, but let's imagine), that the exact same neurons would fire.
This is an important way in which a brain is different than a computer. A computer, given the same inputs, CAN activate the exact same circuits, in the exact same way (on the macro level at least).
