Could the split between #ComputationalFunctionalism & #BiologicalNaturalism misses how real brains actually compute?

The authors propose “#BiologicalComputationalism,” the idea that #NeuralComputation is inseparable from the brain’s physical, hybrid, and energy-constrained dynamics,
rather than an #AbstractAlgorithm running on hardware.

In this view, #DiscreteNeuralEvents & #ContinuousPhysicalProcesses,

form a tightly coupled system that cannot be reduced to #SymbolicInformationProcessing.

The theory suggests that #DigitalAI, despite its capabilities,
may NOT recreate the essential computational style that gives rise to #ConsciousExperience.

Instead, truly-#MindLikeCognition may require building systems whose #Computation-emerges from #PhysicalDynamics similar to those found in #BiologicalBrains.

Hybrid Dynamics:
Brain computation arises from discrete spikes embedded within continuous chemical and electrical fields.

Multi-Scale Coupling:
Neural processes remain deeply intertwined across levels,
meaning algorithms cannot be separated from physical implementation.

Energetic Constraints:
Metabolic limits shape neural computation, influencing learning, stability, and information flow.

Does the assumption of a weak form of #ComputationalFunctionalism, according to which the right form of neural computation is sufficient for consciousness,
entail that a digital computational simulation of such #NeuralComputations is conscious?

Or must this #ComputationalSimulation be implemented in the right way, in order to replicate #Consciousness?
