It seems like if you weight by matter, you also have to weight by the amount of time it takes to do the computation. Slower minds should be more likely.
This raised a question in my mind about relativity. It was a dead end, but in case others have a similar thought:
You have to take the time as experienced by the mind itself, and you have to take the rest mass of the mind.
If you do this, you can go on thinking about weights by mass of the brain, without having to choose a reference frame.
