claim:continuous-dynamics-inhabit-real-closed-fields-complete-decidable-discrete-arithmetic-is-incomplete-and-uncomputable

Continuous dynamics inhabit real closed fields (complete, decidable); discrete arithmetic is incomplete and uncomputable.

Mathematical argument that continuous biological computation operates in a richer formal domain; suggests computational advantages for consciousness-relevant processing.

Hybrid Discrete-Continuous Computation
supports
Brains perform simultaneous discrete operations (spikes) and continuous operations (graded potentials, fields) that co-determine each other; distinguishes biological from digital substrates.
