I mean, when you get down to the brass tacks of dopamine/seratonin/GABA signaling, neurons firing, etc., is this not algorithmic?

If you are an explicit determinist, yes. In which case this discussion is pointless, because we're all hardwired to do it exactly the way it's occurring, and therefore isn't worth continuing.

You could probably call it computation, but I think it’d be quite the stretch to call it an algorithm.

Why stop there? If we’re gonna be reductive to the point of inanity, when you get down to brass tacks, it’s all just electrons and protons. Except that no matter how much you know about electrons, or carbon molecules, or neurons, the system still doesn’t behave like an algorithm.

A complex intermediated electrochemical system with homeostasis isn’t what most people mean by algorithm

Is the atp adp cycle algorithmic? Because that's what life runs on. www.khanacademy.org/science/ap-b...
