Hi Ronald,
(Please let me quickly say something to Abram and Jason: Abram, Jason, I will have to go. I will comment your posts tomorrow) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Bruno: > We may be talking different thing but the TOE for Physics does not > exist yet. I agree. But there are interesting candidates like superstrings and loop gravity, except that they are still not taking the observer seriously enough, imo. The mind-body problem is still under the rug, and this makes them not really "everything theory" . > I would think it would be QM and General Relativity and > other things we do not know. No doubt the TOE has to mary QM and GR in some way, ... and without eliminating consciousness (the only data I can't doubt?). > > Could this program be running an evolving mathematical structure > or maybe you prefer evolving block universe/multiverse? I think none, although strictly speaking it is an open problem. Taking the risk of looking a bit too much poetical, but for being short and being able to provide you with an image, I would say that, as a theorem of computer science, numbers dream, and "sometimes" share dreams. You can look at a dream as a piece of a surface. Physical realities becomes dreams sharing, built from invariant in those dreams. The surfaces glue together and create bigger surfaces, but for some reason, it is not clear if all surfaces glues sufficiently well to define an absolute physical reality on the kind needed for block multiverse. Evolving block multiverse? I am not sure, I don't know. The physical world will be a bit secondary, like the border of the ignorance of the universal machine. Thanks to Godel, Lob, Solovay (logicians who made key works among others) eventually that "ignorance" has a mathematical structure. Eventually this will make the computationalist theory testable (and in some sense Everett QM confirms already some weird features of the comp hyp. Everett QM is QM without collapse, I guess you know).
