Bruno,
Of course I assume ALL established science, QM, SR, GR and all the
rest, always subject to correction and improvement of the science of
course.
You assume a primitive physical reality?
But I maintain it is all being computed at a more fundamental level
by active computational process of pure abstract information.
Like in arithmetic?
That is really the question I ask. You cannot assume "active
computational process of pure abstract information". You must tell me
what you assume to provide interpretation of those words.
In fact, seen from comp, you have two basic choices.
Either, like a physicist-aristotelian, you search the universal
numbers which mirrors the better the observation.
Or like, a Platonist rational mystic, you serach the explanation in
your head, and here the result is that the unique universal numbers
which explains what you observe has a reason, and it results by a sort
of dialog among all universal numbers. (this has the advantage of
explaining both mind, and the origin of matter).
BUT I reject most of the current INTERPRETATIONS of that science
(which are so often mistaken for the actual science) and instead
offer a completely new and unifying paradigm in the way of
interpretation.
Good scientists can communicate in ways which does not depend on the
interpretation. Not all scientists do that, 'course.
So far as I know my theory is completely consistent
I still don't see a theory. Sorry.
with all currently accepted modern hard physical science,
Is that not a weakness? How to test your theory?
but certainly NOT with the usual interpretations of that science.
Are you doing philosophy of science?
Are you not just providing a "new" interpretation?

Stephen,
Bruno and I agree on this one, our usually imagined space is
completely a construction of our minds. That is fundamental to my
theory. I explain in detail how it happens in my new topic post
"Another shot at how spacetime emerges from quantum computations" if
anyone cares to read it...
So you do assume quantum mechanics?
Yes or no?
I still don't figure out what you are assuming.

Dear LizR,
But stop and think of the implications of what even Bruno is
saying. Space is completely a construction of our minds. There is no
3,1 dimensional Riemannian manifold out there. We measure events and
our minds put those together into tableaux that we communicate about
and agree on, because our languages, like formal logical system,
force the results to obey a set of implied rules. We formulate
explanations, formulate models and look for rules that the models
might obey. Hopefully we can make predictions and measure something...
I really really like Bruno's notion of an observer. If only we
could see eye to eye on the definitions of some other concepts...
Such as that Computation is an *action* or transformation, not a
static "being".

Dear LizR,
Yeah, Zeno didn't know about calculus... I was speaking to the
idea that "time moves". It doesn't, there is nothing to move. It is
not an object that can be observed. We can measure measures of time:
duration, sequence and energy. It is amazing how our minds can
create "things" out of ideas that are not even true.
I agree that time doesn't move. And "motion in space-time" doesn't
make sense either. Motion in space, however...
