I mean, the brain is hardware as in we can take things like neurons and force them to do things like computation in a standalone fashion (biological computer). An FPGA would be the closest non-biological thing we've created. It's hardware that can be programmed like software.

Maybe we need a new acronym. Self Programmable Neuron Array. SPNA.

The brain is nothing like a computer.

They both have input and output and obey the laws of material nature. They take in information, make decisions, and then take action.

Or is the brain not mathematical?

Brains are none of those things. Thoughts aren't about things, there's no content to thoughts, and what it expresses, it behaves nothing the way computers do. https://aeon.co/essays/your-brain-does-not-process-informati...

Ah, psychologists contriving arguments on why the brain isn't some particular thing or another. Or, that "phycologist learns about fuzzy edge/component compression"
