This comes back to my original question: since all possible
programs
are run by the dovetailer, how do we ensure that conscious beings
see an ordered and predictable world. Only a set of measure zero
among all possible programs would give that result.
Yes, it seems to me, we should see white noise, but maybe a
selection attribute must be in play... like an anthropic argument.
Anthropic arguments are not going to work with computationalism
because there is no basis on which you can assume underlying
deterministic physical laws.
You need Turing topic argument, and the logic of those are given by
the logic of self-reference.
Then it can be shown that the basis used is not important, and I (try)
to illustrate the working of all this with elementary arithmetic and
with combinators, but topological unitary computations, or fortran, or
lisp, would do.
Physics and theology are machine independent notion. All base leads to
the same theory. This comes from the fact that the intensional Church
thesis follows from the usul extensional one. Not only all universal
number u can compute all computable functions, but they can imitate
the precise ways other u computes, so all universal dovetailing
entails the same competition between all u (below our substitution
level).
