It's possible to simulate a world for a person but it is not possible to simulate the sense of being a person. I have no problem with full sensory substitution, but I understand that there cannot be a replacement for sense itself. Something real and physical ultimately has to interpret anything to give it sense, otherwise it is non-sense. A program is real in a mind, and real in software, but unless the software is enacted literally on a physical machine or organism at the bottom level, there is no reality. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
