But I think that's a misplaced assumption when it comes to consciousness. Think of it as a burning log. If comp says you should be able to simulate a burning log mathematically does that mean that your simulation will produce actual heat? To me, obviously it depends how close your log is to the physical simulation - you can use concrete logs in a gas fireplace if all you want is the heat and the appearance of burning logs. If you want to smell burning wood, then the substitution level isn't low enough. Craig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
