On computational subjectivity: Leibniz's "Grand Perceiver" as Cloud Computing-- and the One (or God) as WiFi sharing and governance thereof.
This raises new hopes in my mind for the proponents of computationalism. This is just a speculation, but the following quote on the use of Cloud Computing (CC) as an accessory shared intelligence for Apple Ipods and Samsung Tablets suggests CC as a possible model for Leibniz's Supreme Monad as the subjective "Grand Perceiver" * (my term), leading to the above-all WiFi and God or the One as overall governing authority. http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/making-linux-and-android-get-along-its-not-hard-it-sounds "The cloud computing movement has done a great deal to promote platform agnosticism, from consistent (Web-based) UIs to cross-platform APIs that allow applications to synchronize data. And with most users being constantly connected via 3/4G, Wi-Fi or wired networks to the Internet, cloud services have been one of the most hassle-free ways to make your data available across devices. " Cloud computing could then replace the many difficulties that Daniel Dennety has criticized as the "Cartesian Theater". * For Leibniz's model of perception, see eg http://capone.mtsu.edu/rbombard/RB/PDFs/Leibniz02.pdf and http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/leibniz-mind/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
