I have put "Conscience & Mecanisme" in my web page, along with other stuffs. (And some others will arrive). It could be of some interest to you. "Conscience et Mecanisme" is the 1995 Brussels thesis (which has neither been defended, ... nor attacked ....). Beside the "Introduction", "Recapitulation" etc., there are mainly 9 sections (from 1.1 to 3.3). The first seven are the theory of consciousness derived from the computationalist hypothesis. The last two give the application of that theory of consciousness for isolating an arithmetical formulation of the mind body problem. It contains the physico/psycho-reversal. Basically the Lille's PhD thesis is just a concise presentation of the section 3.2 and 3.3 of Brussels thesis. This is possible by the trick consisting in *defining* machine's psychology/theology by the self-referentially correct Loebian machine's discourse (but that is what *is* explained in detail in the first seven sections of C&M).
To 'consolate' those who doesn't read french I have made accessible my older "Mechanism, and Personal Identity", and "Amoeba, Planaria, and Dreaming Machine". So old that the modal box did not survive! That is, a modal formula like <>[]p -> -[][]p is transformed into <>,p -> -,,p in AP&DM, and into <>,,p -> -,, ,,p in M&PI. That is the box [] is transformed into one comma in AP&DM, and two commas in M&PI. Sorry. This makes things a little less readable, but as logical symbol, it does not change anything if you read the paper from the beginning. Note that all "symbols" in C&M have survived (but then there are typo errors, ....).
I will also put "Le secret de l'amibe" on the web page. It is the story of the thesis, and a lot of readers of preliminary version told me it helps a lot for understanding the work. I have finished it in 2001, and it should have been published since, but I'm still waiting (without any explanations).
I have also been kindly proposed for an invited talk at the international SANE'2004 in Amsterdam. http://www.nluug.nl/events/sane2004/CfP-2004.html
Title: The Origin of Physical Laws and Sensations.
Abstract: I first sum up a non constructive argument showing that the mechanist hypothesis in the cognitive science gives enough constraints to decide what a "physical reality" can possibly consist in. Then I explain how computer science together with logic make it possible to extract a constructive version of the argument by interviewing a Modest (Loebian) Universal Machine. Reversing von Neumann probabilistic interpretation of quantum logic on those provided by the Loebian Machine provides a kind of explanation of how both sharable physical laws and un-sharable physical knowledge arise from number theoretical relations.
