Mathematics is mostly uncomputable. The existence of turing universal computers that can do constructive math is an empirical fact.
It depends on what you understand as "mind". I think of it as a system that is capable of modeling an environment, and its own interaction with that environment, in our case in the service of regulation of the dynamics of organisms under conditions of multi-level selection.
