That's not really a materialism thing, it's a math thing.

I'm under the impression that what you describe falls under computationalism, not materialism, but my reading on these ideas is shallow and I may be confusing some of these terms...

I must say I can't tell the difference between materialism "the mind is built of stuff" and computationalism "the mind is built of algorithms (running on stuff)".

If I get them confused in some way, sorry.
