Note that you are trying to use a technical term in a non-technical way to "fight" a non-technical argument. Do you really think that I'm asserting that virtual environment can be *exactly* as capable as physical environment? All interesting stuff is going to be computational anyway. My requirement only limits potentially invasive control over physical matter (in other words, influencing other computational processes to which access is denied). In most cases, computation should be implementable on universal substrate without too much overhead, and if it needs something completely different, captive system can order custom physical devices verified to be unable to do anything but computation. We are doing it already, by trashing old PCs and running Windows 98 in virtual machines, in those rare circumstances where killing them altogether still isn't optimal. -- Vladimir Nesov [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=95818715-a78a9b Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
