But that's just a semantic trick. The first-person perspective
consciousness can still be finite. Just because "the end" isn't
part of the experience, it doesn't follow that the sequence of
experiences continues indefinitely. I've had my consciousness
interrupted. There was no mathematical/logical necessity that it
resume.
Of course. But if you assume either QM, or comp, there are.
Comp maybe. QM doesn't require that consciousness continue.
?
What would it mean to observe anything if consciousness does not
continue (locally)?
You lost me here,
