That still leaves the question of whether brains should be reduced to atoms or bits unresolved?
You can reduce a brain to atoms, and a mind to bits?
Possible bits are more basic, since physics seems to run on maths, if that makes sense. But I wouldn't say this with especially high confidence.
That's my point. Being "ontologically basic" is an extremely subtle concept.
