A computer is literally defined by the functions a brain carries out. Turing defined it that way based on the WW2 computers who were women.

I think it's best if you read up it? Can't really do this over twitter AND get work done today.

Oh, that's easy it's anything that is mathematically shown to be computationally the same as a Turing machine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine …

bearing in mind that Turing defined Turing machine based on what women's brains could do in Bletchley park.

So the definition of computer is: anything a brain can compute and he did defined it formally using maths. Many other computational systems

are subsets of what a Universal Turing Machine can do. But anything a Turing machine can do, a brain can do, by definition.
