You're so close... And where is the magic "uncomputable spark" located inside of you? If you say analog thermodynamic noise - then ok, if we use true thermodynamic RNG for LLM activation function, will that meet the criteria? But what if super determinism is the law of the land? Then nobody is anything but computable from priors...

Ehm it's literally every cell in my body. We can't simulate a living cell, we're orders of magnitude off before we can do that, the onus is on you to make an argument that it is in fact, remotely similar to what you describe as "computation".

It's not some tiny "uncomputable spark" you need to look for, most of it is entirely uncomputable.

Where is the computable part in me that is doing all this thinking and being a person? Where is that "tiny spark", point me at it :)
