Also 'brain diffs don't equal behavioural diffs' is not dualism, it's degeneracy, and it's the rule in biology

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

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.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

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 …
