| May 8, 2015 at 20:29 | comment | added | Carl Dong | Well, I am just looking for a simple/intuitive example which may make the point clear, not necessarily a rigorous proof. | |
| May 8, 2015 at 20:19 | comment | added | André Souza Lemos | Then, I'm sorry to say that (in my view) you don't have an answerable question. | |
| May 8, 2015 at 20:18 | comment | added | Carl Dong | I don't know how to define 'human' in this question using precise terms, sorry. I would say just a physical, normal human plus the assumptions made in the question. I know this statement is not quite 'mathematical', but that's all I can say. | |
| May 8, 2015 at 20:15 | comment | added | André Souza Lemos | You say that you are not talking about physical computers. Are you talking about human beings as physical (concrete) entities? If that is not the case, then the burden is upon you to express (yes, in mathematical terms) how this abstract computational entity you call "human" functions. As I said, this is not a new subject. Even though it is an extremely complex system, the human brain has been studied as a computational model for a while now. | |
