I think you run into circular dependence if you exhaustively try to account for brain function by information processing. Even ClaudClaude Shannon’s definition of information is dependent upondepends on a «mind/perspective» defining a range of possible states. The world devoid of any perspective would have infinite states and systems depending on how you «view the world». An example I have previously given is the flickering flags computation in the tv show (books) Three body problem.*The Three-Body Problem*. This computation is dependentdepends on a mind defining states and logical relations.
