By the UDA. If you say "yes" to the doctor, physics emerges from all computations, and
even plausibly from those who do not stop, which have a higher measure than those which
stops.
I doubt that physics depends on what I say to anyone. But the question is, what if
materialism is true and I say "yes" to the doctor. I just don't see how saying "yes" to
the doctor commits me the rest of the argument.
And on the question of measure, when I write a computer program that doesn't stop with an
answer as I intended it is sometimes because it has entered a loop. Aren't non-stopping
programs like that going to dominate the measure of computations by the UD?
