> I mean, we've proven that predicting certain things (even those that require nothing but deduction) require more computational resources regardless of the algorithm used for the prediction.
I do understand proofs as formalized deterministic action for given inputs and processing as the solving of various proofs.
> Formalising a process, i.e. inferring the rules from observation through induction, may also be dependent on available computational resources.
Induction is only one way to construct a process and there are various informal processes (social norms etc). It is true, that the overall process depends on various things like available data points and resources.
> I don't have one except for "an overall quality of the mental processes humans present more than other animals".
How would your formalize the process of self-reflection and believing in completely made-up stories of humans often used as example that distinguishes animals from humans? It is hard to make a clear distinction in language and math, since we mostly do not understand animal language and math or other well observable behavior (based on that).
