?? How is an experience instantiated without being experienced? Sounds like
double talk.
All experiences are experienced, but the question in this case is by whom? Who can
rightfully be said to be an owner of that experience?
Makes not sense at all. If people are just sequences of experiences (dispensing with the
physical as secondary) then there is no sense in asking who owns an experience.
There are two minds in this case: There is the Jupiter brain's mind, and there is Brent
Meeker's mind. The Jupiter brain might choose to simulate all of Earth, and thus it
will instantiate yours, mind, and all earthlings' brains.
But now you're invoking brains to distinguish which mind is which. I'm afraid your theory
is incoherent.
And so Brent Meeker will experience what it is like to be Brent Meeker. But the mind of
the Jupiter brain will not be able to remember what it is like to be Brent Meeker
without creating some kind of bridge to make Brent's memories and experiences accessible
to that mind.
Brent Meeker is always an owner of Brent Meeker's experiences, but there may be other
entities who can rightfully be said to be owners of those experiences, by virtue of
having memory of having been Brent Meeker, for example.
But that is beside the point, even if this brain was not integrating the
experiences into a single view, and instead was morphing its brain such
that it
experiences one lifetime after, this activity creates a chain of
connections
that goes through all the observer's lifetimes it ever experiences.
Why do experiences need some outside agent, "this brain" to integrate them?
They only need to be integrated if you want the experience to belong to other
minds.
I thought the idea was that experiences formed a chain by their inherent
content.
Think of a it like this:
Imagine a youtube of the future that enabled full sensory immersion. Now there are
millions of experiences uploaded to this site, and each of the experiences has been
viewed thousands of times, by any of millions of different real-world observers.
Who are sitting in a big Cartesian theater.
Who then are the true owners of the experience? When the experience ends the playback,
you don't know which of the thousands of viewers you will then discover yourself to be.
No, sensory immersion is not the same as experience immersion. Because of my memories and
structure, experiences will be uniquely mine even though the sensory input is shared.
Brent
A complex and highly connected web is formed between all the observers, as they are
connected through the shared experiences. The chain of experience bifurcates at the end
of each uploaded experience, branching to any of the thousands of people who have seen,
or ever will see this experience. The Jupiter brains that exist throughout mathematical
reality (or in the arithmetic in computationalism) are like these "Youtube of the
future" users, who not only see vast numbers of experiences, but come across the same
experiences and hence link themselves to other jupiter brains in the same way the users
of this website link themselves together.
