Like you, I can't > make any sense of these partial zombies. But also can't make any I think a materialist would either have to argue that Lucky Alice is conscious (if he focuses on physical states) and that removing neurons would lead to fading qualia (the "partial zombies") or simply assume that already Lucky Alice is a Zombie (because he focuses on causal dynamics). (I would like to note that I have dropped MAT in the meantime and tend to MECH. Just wanted to "simulate" a materialist argumentation :-) - maybe I can convince myself of MAT and not MECH again *grin*) Could we say that MAT focuses on _physical states_ (exclusively) and MECH on _dynamics_? And that MGA shows that one can't have both?
