A great many of these are predicated on the idea that brain and universe are mathematical. Math, in my view, is
simply the domain of formal languages. Most of mathematics is not computable, i.e. the grand computer that
runs the universe, however it works, cannot execute them.
Computation always works, i.e. computes something by transitioning from one state to the next. Computation
can be probabilistic, and it does not need to align with the temporal order of the computed system (only with the
causal one).
To a mathematician, functions have a value once they are sufficiently constrained. In computing, there is no
value before it has actually been computed.
Computation can create arbitrary finite sequences of finitely resolved observables and should suffice for making
universes and minds. The universe does not solve differential equations. Much of current physics is mathematical
though, and not computable. I suspect that resolving physics or neural dynamics requires to make them
computable, that is, use different languages.
Computer science mostly does this, but current deep learning treats intelligence roughly as a perceptual problem.
Alpha Go 'perceives' the best move, where humans use a combination of perception, construction/inference and
integration/reflection. As a consequence, machine learning needs to use vastly more training data. (Not the only
reason, of course.)

these were from a while ago -- any startling results or progress that we easily know about?
