How does this computer turn 0 and 1 representations into action, say running your printer. Not to say your mind is a computer, but we have an idea of how representations, thought, arises from brute matter, neurons. We have reduced this from a mystery to a problem. There are many good books on neurology out there. Look for theses authors. Antonio Damasio, Joesph Le Doux and Micheal Gazzaniga.

Obviously by random, irrational, violent collisions of transmitters between neurons. Think of two gangs throwing rocks at each other. That's how 95% of humans accomplish the task. You can tell by judging the quality of the bulk of human thought.

We know pretty well how perception and action comes about - mostly from experiments on macaques.
We know pretty well how most emotions come about, mostly from experiments on rats and mice.
We do lack an animal model for language and thought (don't get me started on birdsong). So to make a long story short - no one knows.
There are a lot of good hunches, see for example "Cognitive Neuroscience" by Michael Gazzaniga for reference.
