   You misunderstand the result Penrose has shown. There are plenty of aperiodic tessellations of the plane that can be computationally generated. The issue is whether a computer can, in all cases, determine if a set of shapes can tile aperiod

   > is that we have no way of proving that qualia won't exist for an artificial intelligence You misunderstood my objection. The issue is not whether we can prove such a thing, but can we differentiate between different information p

   Ultimately these arguments come down to qualia. But there is no reason to think qualia is a) present in other brains except your own, but b) not present in any non-brain information processing system. Philosophers of mind have tried to make

   > the brain does far more than performing computation In your opinion? Can you be more specific, and give examples of things the brain does that are not computable? This is trivially true in some senses, neurones have analogue responses,

   Nope. Can I suggest you read Penrose again with a little more critical thought. There are problems it is possible to prove are not computable. But can you prove that human beings can solve them? Tessellation of the infinite plane? Please de
