I am not confusing that but I think sometimes you might be confusing a physical thing with the language (mathematics) the descriptive representation of the thing is presented in. Or maybe not, maybe you're right and mathematics is more than just a language and is more fundamental than physics; nobody knows including you. >> but if something requires an infinite number of steps to determine what >> it will do its not very deterministic. > > > > It is, when you agree to apply the excluded middle on the arithmetical > proposition, or actually it is enough to believe that a closed Turing > machine stop or does not stop. > Deterministic perhaps, but not predictable even in theory. >>> Bullshit.

I have so often heard you say "according to comp blah blah" that I no longer know what your silly little homemade slang word is supposed to mean, but I do know it can't mean Computationalism. And now dear god we've got "comp1" and "comp2" to add to the mix! John K Clark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
