Craig, What seems clear to me from your response to Stathis is that you can build something that does what it wants to do within a deterministic system, such as the game of life.
Now you say we cannot predict the high level process of the mind to know what the mind will do. This is true in one sense: we cannot be certain what the mind will do without ourselves instantiating the mind and seeing what it does. God himself cannot know what will happen 5 years from now in this world without us experiencing those 5 years and making decisions throughout that period of time. Hopefully this idea can bridge the gap between your view of the minds unpredictability with Stathis and my idea that underlying the mind exist predictable rules.
