Bruno, Thanks for the welcome, I've been looking over the list archive and have found your posts to be very logical and concisely described. From what I gather your believe in mathematicalism and computationalism. In the posts of yours I have seen, I have not come across anything that I would disagree with. My question is, do you see ASSA as incompatible with COMP, and if so how? One of the ideas I describe on the website I posted is that Turing machines, being mathematical structures exist and there should exist an instance of a turing machine for every possible program. Some of these programs define more states than others (before looping or halting) and life forms should be most likely to occur within programs that define the most states. Is what I described compatible with both COMP and ASSA? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
