I think this is a variant of (1). Anything like this should be able to be computationally approximated efficiently.

Why? That claim seems baseless to me.

My GPU can compute things efficiently that my CPU can't, and vice-versa. Historically, analog computers have been able to compute things efficiently that digital computes could not, and vice-versa.

Why should a digital computer be particularly adept at computing that which a dense electrochemical network can?
