Behaviorally, analog systems are not substrate dependent.
This is partly true, as I already explained at length, since the behavior of any system can be crudely modeled. It’s how LLMs work! But it’s also a non-sequitur.
Modeling what a system can do and doing what a system can do are not the same.
A map isn’t a territory, but there’s no such a thing as a tangible mind you can hold (or there is, and we’re arguing about mysticism, which isn’t really a good use of my time). As far as I can see, it’s all maps.

What’s the difference?
