You assume the negation of comp. That's all. But analog machine can in general be simulated by digital machine. Only analog machine using explicitly infinite thrid person information in finite time will be non turing emulable. It is up to you to explain us why you think "infinite third person information" is needed for having a genuine person. (First person infinite information will not work given that comp predicts that first person are associated directly to a continuum (high infinite) of information flows. > If I have a scar on my left hand, you need to teleport this scar also. > Same > for any of my old memories. > We are not talking about the teleportation of some *standard PC parts* > (like > the CPU/HDD) from A to B. > >> But where I think you are wrong is that articial brain and body, even >> if it >> needs a millenium of work to succeed with some reasonable >> probability, will >> not really help us in understanding the brain and its functioning.
