No, I'd rather have your non-arbitrary definition. I know what the word processing means. I want to know what it means to YOU in the context of this particular debate.
Quote:again, and from above...that there be processing, in a comp mind framework(I'm assuming you're asking from that POV). Even if we have processing.....we'll still be looking for more than a pocket calculator......it would seem.
Why? I know what a brain does. What I don't know is the most elemental particle or particle function that represents a kind of "spark" of consciousness. I don't see why this elemental pyschum (if I can be permitted to coin the term for this thread) should do anything more than a simple transmission of data.
Quote:Processing remains what it always was (and needn't be useful), the question is whether or not mind is processing...comp, whether or not it uses the same principles...eh?
I still don't understand the difference between processing and any other change of state which has an effect on causality in the universe. I really have to stop here and ask you for a precise definition of "processing."
