There is no argument presented in this article. The stock market and brain and indeed
most natural systems are chaotic, but that is not the same as being not computable.
Hi Stathis,
I agree with you Stathis, but effective non-computability is just as strong as in
principle non-computability. The issue of resource availability cannot be ignored.
Stephen Wolfram's article on the intractability of simulating physical systems pretty
much nails this argument down:

Right, no brain can hope to compute what a sufficiently large electronic
computer can.
