However your brain does have one advantage, it's a real physical thing, but a Turing Machine is not, it's more like a schematic diagram of the underlying logic of a brain or computer at the most detailed and fundamental level possible. A Turing Machine can't calculate anything unless it's actually constructed, and for that you need atoms. > > *> therefore a human can be consider a Turing machine. * > Yes, you can be considered to be a Turing Machine, a particular Turing Machine, but you are NOT ALL Turing Machines > *> Invalid inference. * > I don't think so.
