Of course. But the rejections of recordings being conscious is based on the intuition that they are too simple to correspond to a conscious entity. But recordings can be incredibly complex, so I don't think one can reject the notion that recordings are always unconscious, just because the simple ones don't appear to be. Obviously not all complex recordings are conscious, in fact I would suspect most are not. But it is not so obvious that aren't any complex conscious recordings. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Professor of Mathematics hpco...@hpcoders.com.au University of New South Wales http://www.hpcoders.com.au Latest project: The Amoeba's Secret (http://www.hpcoders.com.au/AmoebasSecret.html) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
