No he does not. I have corresponded with him frequently off list, and he does *not* equate logical thought (which is a social and or formal "entity") with the structure of the brain. But you seem to or else you would not be writing the maundering posts on this thread.
Though, incidentally, Douglas Hofstadter did *speculate* that just perhaps the impossibility of really thinking (in the same moment) "A exists" and "A does not exist" reflected the hardware of the brain. So might the impossibility of seeing both the duck and the rabbit simultaneously. (Please note: *speculate*. There is no evidence supporting either the speculation or its denial.)
