conscious beings.
OK, but their consciousness is not simulated, as the consciousness
of the being is in all arithmetical simulations. The machine you
build makes only that consciousness manifestable relatively to you.
But that assumes what you are trying to argue, that consciousness is
a purely arithmetical phenomenon.
I was slightly making your point more precise, using the UDA's
consequence. I was not in the course of arguing on UDA.
