Hi Bruno Marchal

I would think that each universe provides its own distinctive
context to any燾alculation, including comp.
Comp is the assumption that we are Turing emulable.
That notion is made very solid by Church's thesis.
I don't think that we can assume that a Turing emulation of us is
actually "us". To the contrary, a Turing emulation of geometry is
not geometry. A Turing emulation of water can be the same as a
Turing emulation of water in another Turing emulated virtual world,
but no emulated drop of Turing water can ever be a genuine drop of
water within the world that we actually live in. It doesn't
matter that 17 is still prime when you are dying of dehydration.
Hi Craig,
Still trying to understand your theory better. What's your position
on the following statements:
- The human brain can be Turing emulated.
I see emulation is a figure of speech rather than a physical
reality. Can fire be Turing emulated? Maybe, but you can only use
it to emulate the cooking of emulated food. I can make a single
emulation of fire which will work for any number of virtual worlds,
but none of them can actualize fire on the level of the machine
itself.
Aren't you confusing emulation with simulation? If we emulate a
brain in a computer, we can connect its input and outputs to
sensors and actuators in the real world.
�
So can publicly detectable brain activity be Turing emulated? Sure,
but it is a sculpture.
I see what you mean, but more on that later.
�
- There is some (possibly mysterious) link between the physical
human brain and consciousness.
The human brain is the public facing spatial presentation of human
quality awareness. It's not a link between them because they are
actually the same thing, only expressed publicly rather than
privately.
Ok. I'm ok with that. I would still call it a link, but no
nitpicking is necessary.
�
It's a bit confusing since private awareness is longitudinal
through all time whereas public structures are orthogonal -
latitudinal across all space but constrained to as single instant
of time.
See if my post from last night makes it clearer:

Interesting post.
You say:�
"In other words, an experience is ineffable when the subject
derives meaning from generated information which supervenes on an
extensive personal history."
�
So my question is, why can't the generated information supervene on
an emulation of my brain?
