The explanations I've heard so far are talking about something like virtualized fire and a virtualized observer. I'm asking about how would you emulate fire so that it burns like fire to all observers that fire exists for. It needs to burn non-virtualized paper. Heat homes, etc. How does arithmetic do that, and if it can't why is that not directly applicable to consciousness? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
