The point is not that neurological processes can't be modeled using

illustrates a feedback structure. These neurons could be replaced by
flip flop systems and other electronic. In that way this system could
be modeled. My main point is there is a distinction between the
territory and the map. Feynman also made the quip that simulation is
like masturbation; it is fine until you start thinking it is the real
thing.

But isn't consciousness different? A simulation and the real thing must
be identical if "the real thing" is information processing.
