Are there any systems in nature that are non-computational?

No,Everything is a computation.The great mystery is why nature can compute certain things that we, for now, appear unable.

Everything is the analog computer of its own dynamics, but that notion of computation is as meaningless as it is trivial. To meaningfully claim that something computes, you must be able to abstract the computational logic from the physical means of computation. But once you do that, a computation ceases to be an objective physical process. It's no longer subject to the constraints that allow you to objectively identify physical phenomena. You can distribute the steps of a computation arbitrarily across space and time, up to sequential dependencies. Correlating those steps back into a (logical) process is mere convention. Real phenomena don't work like that. So you can claim some physical system is a "computer" (i.e. you can read computations into it if you want) but you can't claim whatever you think it computes is what drives or characterizes it as a physical system.

My boner in 7th grade after gym right before I was going up for presentation in history.
Was a good subject and my presentation was mint. Said I forgot it.
