Hi Bruno Marchal Perhaps no leap of faith is required to go from completeness to incompleteness (consciousness),
if subject = 1p= the incomplete portion of a system consciousness = subject + object consciousness = the incomplete (me, 1p) + what remains (the object of perception) Roger Clough, [email protected] 11/9/2012 "Forever is a long time, especially near the end." -Woody Allen ----- Receiving the following content ----- From: Bruno Marchal Receiver: everything-list Time: 2012-11-08, 10:25:01 Subject: Re: Leibniz: Reality as Dust On 08 Nov 2012, at 14:51, Richard Ruquist wrote: > Stephan, > If the compact manifolds of string theory are all different and > distinct (as I claim in my paper from observations of a variable fine > structure constant across the universe), then the manifolds should > form a Stone space if each manifold instantly maps all the others into > itself, my (BEC physics) conjecture, but also a Buddhist belief- > Indra's Pearls. > > If so, youall may be working on implications of string theory- like > consciousness. > > However, in my paper I claim that a 'leap of faith' is necessary to go > from incompleteness to consciousness (C). Would you agree? Bruno says > C emerges naturally from comp. More precisely, I say that consciousness and matter emerges from elementary arithmetic, *once* you bet on comp, that is the idea that the brain or the body can be Turing emulated at some right level so that you would remain conscious.
