>You are a biological system.
That is the language of systems theory.
You are welcome to use the Church-Turing-Deutsch principle as a semantic.
>A massive, noisy and dynamical system of interactions we can never hope to model in fidelity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry_of_interaction
We are already modeling it.
The only argument here is the degree of fidelity required or possible.
> You exist because of unstable equilibria and tiny little proteins pushing against entropy
>We can communicate...
Begging the question: why do proteins exist?
Entropy, Information, Communication. Heh!
That is the language of Information Theory.
>We’re pattern recognisers
Yes. That is what I said - computer/language recogniser.
If there's no pattern/structure you can't parse it.

However you define/conceptualise us, every time you use the word “I” or “we” you are exemplifying recursion.
That is the great thing about self-locating beliefs - they are unfalsifiable.
