But then doesn't that leave subjectivity fundamentally mysterious?
I think that human subjectivity is a range of qualities of
experience, some rooted in the sub-personal, some in the
super-personal, and some reflected from the impersonal ranges. From
this island of possible personal sensitivities, the influences
arising from beneath, behind, or beyond us does seem mysterious, but
from an absolute perspective, the only thing mysterious is why we
should assume that it is not fundamental.
Because we want to explain it from something simpler. That's what
make comp interesting, it allows at least the search (and then
computer science illustrates that it works indeed).
It may not have any choice but to prove it works.
Lol.
If comp has no access to geometry, why would it have access to
subjectivity?
Comp is an hypothesis, not a being. I guess you mean "if a machine has
no access to geometry ...".
But why would a machine not having access to geometry. On the
contrary, geometry is rather simple for machines, bith in the quanta
and qualia parts. See the theory of qualia in some of my papers.
In either case, there will be tautological internal consistency, but
only because it comp is a closed-circuit echo chamber.
Machine intelligence is open, never close. I'm afraid that you are
still using the pre-Gödelian, or pre-Turingian notion of machine.

Dear Bruno,
Just to be clear , is the definition of a machine that you support
is: that whatever the machine is, it is capable of being exactly
represented by a recursively enumerable function?
