Brains are absolutely mathematical functions in a very reasonable sense, and anyone who says otherwise is a crazy person
You think brains aren’t turing machines? Like, you really think that? Every physical process ever studied, all of them, are turing machines. Every one. Saying that brains aren’t turing machines is no different from saying that humans have souls. You’re positing the existence of extra-special magic outside the realm of science just to justify your belief that humans are too special for science to ever comprehend
(By “is a turing machine” I mean that its behavior can be predicted to arbitrary accuracy by a turing machine, and so observing its behavior is mathematically equivalent to running a turing machine)
