I have explained elsewhere why this is not going to work.
I find your argument quotidian and lacking in depth. Virtually any of the
salient properties of complex systems are true of any Turing-equivalent
computational system -- non-linearity, sensitive dependence on initial
conditions, provable unpredictability, etc. It's why complex systems can be
simulated on computers. Computer scientists have been dealing with these
issues for half a century and we have a good handle on what can and can't be
done.
You know, Josh, there are times when only the bald truth will do.
What you said above was pure, unalloyed bullshit: an exquisite cocktail
of complete technical ignorance, patronizing insults and breathtaking
arrogance.
You did not understand word one of what was written in the paper.
It shows.
