That is not a weak assumption. In CTM, there is just physics, not one physics for each UTM, and there is a physical hardware platform at level 0. > Computationalism is just epistemologically incompatible with > materialism (weak materialism). According to a string of controversial arguments. Not according to computationalists, 99% of whom have have never questioned computers and brains are made of matter. >We could say that comp makes the > notion of primitive matter supernatural. > > Bruno > > http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~marchal/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
