Humans are implemented in hardware. Any "software" algorithm that could in theory be executed manually by a human can be implemented in hardware.

The only kind of software I can imagine that (probably) is not implementable in hardware are uncomputable algorithms such as a halting problem solver.




Good catch, also in the same vein, maybe something related to busy-beaver numbers / computations?
