Trans people exist.
Yeah, not just biology. Many things have this properly. Hardware differences don't equal software differences, e.g,, Chrome runs on many OSs

without that being dualist. To wit, a system can be analysed at many layers and those layers can be independant, e.g., electronics layer vs

software layer in computing.

Layers of analysis/levels of description/abstraction layers are a really important concept generally and nowt to do with dualism.

Biology does it for different reasons than computers, but yeah, similar idea

Also I mentioned the principle of multiple realisability here, which is very relevant:https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/898531254798356481 …

Also also computers can be biological, like brains, so I don't think it's that clear cut.

Ofc conception of brain as computing may be non-preferred for ecol psych (& dynamicists?)
@PsychScientists, but I think two are compatible. -
For some of my ideas on how dynamical explanations are constrained by computational complexity as well, see: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1111/j.1756-8765.2011.01173.x/asset/j.1756-8765.2011.01173.x.pdf;jsessionid=24DF969B03E299E036B22DE1004E91D3.f03t01?v=1&t=j6j5b14c&s=98a42d088fcf42b49c0e2292f5b99558bd22d27d …

Link does not seem to work (did before, I think). Here another attempt: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1756-8765.2011.01173.x/abstract …

FWIW both links work just fine for me.
