It appears that the post where I originally proposed this idea is missing from the Google Groups archive. Something must have gone wrong when I imported the group archive into Google Groups, or data rot got to it. The Mail-Archive.com archive is in even worse shape, missing everything from before Sept 2006. Fortunately a third archive at Nabble.com seems still complete, and the post can be found here: http://www.nabble.com/consciousness-based-on-information-or-computation--tf3053801.html#a8489008 As Hal notes on his website, I've since moved away from this position. I've explain my reasons on the mailing list as they occurred to me (for example http://www.nabble.com/relevance-of-the-real-measure-tf3055627.html#a8492185 and http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=8496294&framed=y) but perhaps I should write down a summary for the new members. PS, if anyone wants to download the complete raw mailing list archive in zipped Unix mailbox format, please email me privately. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
