Why an infinity of computation?? That would preclude my building an
intelligent robot having qualia, since it's computations would
always be finite. And I doubt there is room in my head for infinite
computations - certainly not digital ones.
He is alluding to the universal dovetailer here, which contains an
infinite number of distinct computations that implement any given
conscious state.
OK.
Strictly speaking the UD is the program, which is finite. But its
running (UD*) is infinite, and it runs all computations, those who
stop and those who does not stop.
However, it is not clear that it is necessary for it to be infinite -
in a nonrebust world that doesn't contain a UD,
Cannot run integrally the UD, OK.
we still consider the
possbility of conscious computations in the MGA.
Yes, but without (the interesting leasure problem), and we lost the
ability to expalin where matter come from, indeed that move
reintroduce the primary matter, which then appear as a "matter of the
gap". I think.
Best,
Bruno
