If Markov processes won’t cut it, a Turing machine will. And an ANN can approximate a Turing machine.
To boil it down, if you really want to argue that the behaviour of a neuron can’t be simulated by an ANN, you’re arguing that a neuron is doing something non-computable. At which point you might as well argue it’s magical.
