I think that the simple way to explain how we fight entropy is that we consume energy in an "ordered" form, we consume organic material, then we use the energy of chemical bonds and redox reactions to keep ourselves together (in other words, metabolism), the end product being the heat we emanate from our bodies, which is of very high entropy. So you see how we are an island with low entropy and how we maintain that. We accept ordered energy, we consume that "order" to maintain our own form, we emit energy of very low order into the universe. And it is absolutely fascinating how various organisms find their special niches to tap into that order gradient.
Agree with your description of artificial intelligence as not fully emulating natural reasoning. Suggest that you you distinguish non natural systems that do emulate natural intelligence as "Synthetic Intelligence." This would greatly simplify the label, even making the title of your article far easier to comprehend. EDIT An example may help clarify the point. Artificial sweeteners activate the sweetness sensors of our palettes like sugar, but are different compounds. If we synthesized sugar itself, it would still be sugar as found in nature but produced by different means, ergo synthetic rather than artificial.

The point of mortal computing addresses, perhaps solves, the problem of Cartesian duality. You state that mortal computing recognizes that biological systems only implement programming physically in their "wetware." This is the case for hardware or any substrate of any computational device. No computer has ever processed information. It simply comprises a set of switches that turn on and off according to physical laws. Software is an interpretation. Information is an abstraction, an intangible that lacks mass or any other property that allows it to interact with the physical world (forces of nature). How does "some thing" act on the "no thing" of information? How does "no thing" cause anything physical to change? Information, such as the abstract notion of "two" or "two-ness," exists. But, information exists as latent variables in our universe that we model physically in our brain's inference engine. No human has ever had an abstract thought, only a physical one. This brings us to a philosophy that human nature is physical monism. (Posting comments as I go along. Enjoying the discussion) EDIT Perhaps, this all has something to say about Platonic Idealism giving us a "two-fer."
