Hi Richard, Stephen, Roger,
Dual aspect theories are plausibly incompatible with comp. In that
sense Craig is more coherent, but Stephen, and Chalmers, seems not.
They avoid the comp necessary reformulation of the mind-body
problem. It is still Aristotle theory variants, unaware of the first
person indeterminacy.
It might be compatible with comp, but then this asks for a non
trivial derivation, and some conspiracy of the numbers.

Hi Bruno,
Yes, Dual aspect theories are plausibly incompatible with comp,
because comp, as currently formulated
What do you mean by this. Comp is just a precise version of mechanism
("yes doctor", + Church thesis).
Hi Bruno,
I don't think so. There is more to comp than that! You have to
appeal to the universe of arithmetic structures and Sigma_1 to build
your hypostaces, no?
only "understands" the other aspect as "a body problem".
That's the result.
Right. Not the singular form!
I disagree that they are "unaware of 1p indeterminacy";
?
They assume a plurality of 1p by assuming many bodies = many minds.
they just ignore the idea that there is just one mind that has an
infinite number of instances of a body.
You mean: all person have an infinity of relative incarnation in
arithmetic.
Yes.
This is not entirely trivial to prove.
Why? I just postulate that I cannot be a consistent solipsist.
You can't attribute to people statements they don't make. If they did
not ignore the 1p-indeterminacy, they would not assume matter.
How else can it be proven that the infinity of relative
incarnations exists? You prove it by demonstration via the copy and
paste operations. Do you think that this is the only method of
generating a plurality of minds?
The "non-trivial derivation" is necessary for obvious reasons.
?
If a fact is trivial, how does it have any "reach" to explain any
relations beyond itself?
Trivial?
I misread your original sentence.
"Conspiracy of numbers"? Absolutely! But this is true in comp
already.
?
Does not your question of a measure assume the equivalent of a
conspiracy of numbers? Are you talking literally about numbers????
Consider Bp&p; given the universe of propositions, how many are true
and mutually non-contradictory?
?
The notion of contradiction needs theories. The notion of truth needs
semantics (models).
Yeah, you might study some semiotic theory! The problem of the
signified

or "meaning" in Semiotics is a nice study of your ideas of Platonism...
This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdP_dtBvtQo in Spanish is
nice, not sure if you known Spanish....
