The computer is the wrong metaphor for the brain, which neither properly ‘processes’ nor ‘stores’ information, all common habits of reference and framing aside. Those metaphors are conveniences abstracted from mechanical models. Brains are not mechanical. In fact, they cannot be reasonably separated from bodies or worlds except, again, as a convenience of reference appropriate only to limited contexts of inquiry and explanation.
