Yes. > > What breathes fire into the recordings? > I have 2 ideas about that but it's pure speculation and I'm probably talking Bullshit: 1) There is certainly a relationship between the diameter and the circumference of a circle but maybe it's not a real number, maybe the Real Numbers don't exist and only the idea of them does. In fact some say that space itself is quantized, if that's true could you even say that circles exist? Some things written in the English language do not exist so If mathematics is a language then perhaps the Real Numbers are a mathematical Harry Potter Novel. 2) Perhaps in this context "fire" means a lack of noise. Assuming that the Real Numbers exist there is a sequence of digits in pi that contains my life experience, but there are a large number of other sequences that do not, a very very very large number of them. Perhaps there is a way to give a value, including a negative value, to all the sequences in pi depending on how close they were to John Clark's life experience. Then if you could find a way to sum up all those values, maybe in a way analogous to Feynman's sum over histories method, you'd get a value close to zero and so conclude that pi has very little to do with me. But if you did the same thing with my brain you'd get a value very close to 1. John K Clark > A UTM - which has to be instantiated in some sense (not necessairly > physical).
