(Sorry!)

I think the chances are a TOE will have to go a looong way before it's likely to make predictions rather than retrodictions. Didn't string theory retrodict the graviton or something, and everyone said that was a positive
result? Well, Bruno's got qualia, apparently...


I don't see how he does. He does have the existence of incommunicable
facts (the G*\G thing), but that's not the same as qualia ISTM.

You are right, the qualia are in X1* \ X1, like we get quanta in S4Grz1, Z1*, X1*.

Of course the splittings x-x* are all consequences of the splitting between G and G*, so that we can say that incompleteness is the reason of qualia, but only indirectly, through some intensional nuances.

Best,

Bruno




Cheers
