There's evidence everywhere, every second of every day. It doesn't follow from the mind having a material basis that it is doing linear algebra calculations like a Python machine learning program. That's quite a leap.

Not literally, no. But it is entirely possible that what the human mind is doing is equivalent (in the Turing machine sense), if far more efficient (calorically) and robust (though haphazard and stochastic).

It's clearly doing math and obviously no one actually believes its running python programs, you created a strawman.
