Too much responding without sufficient thought. After a week of thought regarding earlier postings on this thread...
Genuine computation involves manipulating numerically expressible value (e.g. 0.62), dimensionality (e.g. probability), and significance (e.g. +/- 0.1). Outputs of biological neurons appear to fit this model. HOWEVER, much of AI does NOT fit this model - yet still appears to "work". If this is useful than use it, but there usually is no path to better solutions. You can't directly understand, optimize, adapt, debug, etc., because it is difficult/impossible to wrap your brain around quantities representing nothing. Manipulations that don't fit this model are numerology, not mathematics, akin to bring astrology instead of astronomy. It seems perfectly obvious to me that AGI, when it comes into being, will involve NO numerological faux "computation". Sure, learning could involve developing entirely new computation, but it would have to perform potentially valid computations on it's inputs. For example, adding probabilities is NOT valid, but ORing them could be valid.
