>>We have some vague models of it ("the brain is like a computer and the mind is like a program running on it")

I agree with the thrust of your argument, but this itself is wrong. When the Europeans were figuring out complex gears and stuff, they thought that the brain is like a complex cog machine (that was when they thought that mind was different, I think). When fluid dynamics became the craze, they started comparing, brain to a machine that manipulates some fluid.

The truth is that we don't even have a model for it.
