Why ask me?
Because you are the one pretending than comp is not computationalism.
You're the one who felt that "computationalism" didn't adequately
convey the idea you had and so you needed to invent a new word, a
word used on this list and no place else.
In your imagination only. For me and others the following are
basically synonymous:
- CTM (computationalist theory of mind, comp theory of mind)
- comp
- computationalism
-Digital Mechanism
- Mechanism (if the context is clear)
-Putnam functionalism
- functionalism (except in some context where Stathis used that term
in a more general sense than Putnam).
Comp, as I use the term is only more precise, as I take into account
that a machine cannot know which machine she is, and thus comp asserts
only "the existence of a level of description such that we
survive ...". See the sane04 paper, or the posts for more detail. This
should not be a problem, given that you have accepted step 0, 1, 2.
