A system can be as complex as it can be. But it will always be theoretically predictable if made up of physical things. If we assume our brain to be a theoretically predictable system, one can, in theory, given the set of equations governing the physics, come up with way to predict all the future thoughts. But the very possibility of such a prediction would imply it's also possible for one to rule out the possibility of brain's processing of 2 inconsistent statements regarding natural numbers. But what Godel proved in his paper was it's impossible to prove the consistency of arithmetic. In conclusion we, or any other living being capable of constructing maths, arithmetic at least, must have an intelligence that is beyond theoretical predictability.</blockquote>
