I don’t think we can make definitive statements regarding the computability of the physical world when not everything of the physical world has been figured out yet.
We know the X86 instructions of a chess engine. You can download it.
We don’t know the X86 instructions of a human brain yet. We don’t know if such thing can exist.
I don’t believe there’s some secret undiscovered Konami cheat code of X86 instructions that unlocks consciousness. There must be something more, unless we accept that all programs are conscious in one way or another.
If you’re poised to cleverly bust out the halting problem - nature can’t solve the halting problem either. It’s not a riddle; it’s a contradiction.
Your brain is three pounds of wet meat powered by cornflakes. Unless you think it’s secretly a radio to heaven, it’s only biology, and the underlying physics of biology are rules we can emulate.

The only way such a thing cannot exist is if you believe in magic.
No, that’s stupid. Unless you think all programs are chess engines in one way or another.
So everything uncomputable is magic?
