Before I stick my head through and exclaim, let me try a nudge first. I hold no grudge against Kuhn or other "paradigmatists" but try not at first to think that "incommensurability" MUST mean NOT COMPARABLE ( the systems of science culture is what are !=, just in the sense that many here say e/c and c/e are never the twixt in twist meeting).
If there are non-algorithmic connections between the nervous system and the bodies’ environment(outside the brain etc but not necessarily outside all soma etc) then law like behavior can still exist. If one assumed that the brain ONLY contains algorithmically relatable operations then one might think whatever might be the relation of irrational and rational numbers overlaying the actual causation they are NOT COMPARABLE. I think this is wrong. This does not speak to the actual theories in physics that you and Cavediver are discussing per say, but I will say something on that if this sledge hammer of a thought only moves sludge and rather than the no-brainer (KNOW BRAIN,errrr) lunged.
