Re: Can Computers Have Incomputable Concepts?

That is exactly why I'm asking for help. I don't know what it means
for a computer to have a concept.

This isn't a satisfactory answer.

The problem is that you've juxtaposed a few words together -- "has a
concept" -- in a way that doesn't intrinsically mean anything.
Obviously you have some idea of what it means; otherwise, you wouldn't
be saying those words in that order. While I understand that you may
not be able to easily express what you mean, no one else in this
newsgroup is better equipped to do so. The question is about what is in
your mind, and you are the only person who can answer that.

What do you not like about the following trivial argument (as a program
in Java) that a computer can "have" any concept you want:

class HaltingProblem { }
HaltingProblem hp = new HaltingProblem();
// now the computer "has" the halting problem, which in undecidable
