Hi Roger,

What you are considering that a computer does not have is the ability to model itself within its environment and compute optimizations of such a model to guide its future choices. This can be well represented within a computational framework and it is something that Bruno has worked out in his comp model. (My only beef with Bruno is that his model is so abstract that it is completely disconnected from the physical world and thus has a "body" problem.)
