Our current reliability based software paradigm lavishly squanders the determinism we so meticulously extract from physics. Conversely, our brain is a best-effort computer, and works whenever the substrate is sufficiently better than random.
If you assume a fully deterministic substrate, reasoning about software becomes much easier, but it means you cannot run it on biological neurons or leaky transistors.
