Because the totality of all scientific data that ever has, or ever will be, gathered is a finite bit-set. And based on a finite bit-set, there's no way to determine if one is looking at a finite or infinite process, or a computational or non-computational process > **** > > How is the hypothesis of computational processes alone underlying the > universe falsifiable or verifiable? **** > > > > > It isn't either... Science has its limits.... My personal variety of occam's razor biases me unscientifically toward the computational sort of model; Steve's personal variety of Occam's Razor biases him otherwise ;) ... ben ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-c97d2393 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-2484a968 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
