I agree. This is what I call the first person point of view, and if you read the UDA proof, you will see that it is a key notion. Then in the technical part I explain that the first person view of a machine, is NOT a machine, and cannot even been describe in term of machine, or in any third person objective term.

Hi Bruno Marchal

This is hard to put into words. No offense, and I may be wrong, but you seem to speak of the world and mind as objects. But like a coin, I believe they have a flip side, the world and mind as we live them,
not as objects but as subjects. Entirely different worlds.

The person are subject. OK. The mind or spirit are too general term, with objective and subjective property.




It is as if you talk about swimming in the water without actually diving in.

Or treating a meal as that which is on the menu, but not actually eating it.

But you are doing that very mistake with machine. You reduce them to their appearance instead of listening to what they say, and more importantly to what they stay mute about. More on this later, but please read the papers as it shows that we are deadly wrong in theology since more than 1500 years, with or without comp. And with comp, the physical reality is a non computational appearance obeying very precise law that we can test. So my main point is that comp is a testable theory.

Leibniz would say, "If there's no God, we'd have to invent him so everything could function."

I don't think anything is obvious here.
What do you mean by a subjective universe? Do you mean that we are dreaming? What is your theory of dream? What is your theory of mind?


Consider that the Turing machine is computational omniscient

I guess you mean universal. But universality is incompatible with omniscience, even restricted to number relations. Computational universality entails the impossibility of omniscience.



solely as a consequence of its construction, and yet, it can hardly
be said that the engineer who designed the Turing machine (why,
Turing, himself!) intentioned to put into that machine as computable
computations.

?



Somehow, where information is concerned, context
is king.

I agree with this. I would say that information is really context selection.
