I don't think that drawing a box where 'flavor type things' should go will have any effect in generating the presence of flavor.

It's redundant because there is no plausible reason for presentation to emerge in the first place, given the fact of epistemic coherence on demand. It would be like installing cameras and monitors on networked computers so that they could also see each other. Such cameras would be redundant and would never plausible emerge from network connectivity. > > > > > > > > > > > > > >> > >> > >> > >> > >>> its a dualism of everything computational vs everything imagined > >>> by computations. > >> > >> Imagined by people supported by infinities of computations.

Exactly, but this seems to make my point. > This is the same odd leap that you make with incompleteness. Wherever we can reason that logic, measurement, or arithmetic is not sufficient to describe reality,. you seem to conclude that must mean that reality must be hidden within arithmetic...that it is our access to reality which is incomplete in that it fails to reveal the totality of arithmetic imagination. It's a fun line of thinking, but it is not the universe that we live in. Where we live, numbers always exist as an experience or a group of bodies, never as independent beings. Where we live, measurement and countability does not have an agenda of its own, to the contrary, automation is about making that which we do not wish to be aware of unconscious to us. In this case, common sense is justified in its intuition that the shortcomings of measurement stem from their reductionist sampling of reality - the digitization which amputates all that has not been selected for. Certainly it is arithmetic itself rather than our appreciation of arithmetic which is incomplete. When we try it your way, we turn arithmetic into Santa and take a bath in the pathetic fallacy.
