The concept of computation is often illustrated through an input-output model, but this framework can be inadequate when applied to the brain's processing of information. Despite this awkwardness, the classification of the brain as a computational system remains relevant regardless of whether universal computation exists. If universal computation were not a premise, different systems might process information in unique ways, complicating our ability to discuss various phenomena in terms of computation. Ultimately, this highlights the broader implications of defining computation and computers beyond conventional boundaries.
