I'm not quite sure what point you're making, but I should clarify mine. I wasn't trying to say anything deep. I was just making a _very_ surface observation that, at some level, our brains consume, transform, and produce bits. It's almost tautological.
I abused "algorithmic" but not in the way you suggest: there are some well-defined transformations of bits that no algorithm [in the technical sense] can perform. I'll go a step further and suggest that our brains can't perform those transformations, either.
