​I can't because all the papers I've seen are made of matter that obeys the laws of physics.​

You cannot see Primary Matter. You can assume it, but that type of Glass of Milk is incompatible with Digital Mechanism.

​Then INTEL must be making a mighty good assumption because it gets the job done. If you don't make INTEL's assumption then you can't calculate ​ ​2+2.

That has nothing to do with the fact that I can prove that the computation of 2+2, and all the others, exists independently of me, like the prime numbers (most of which I can't compute either).

​Yes, a physical brain produces mathematics not the other way around. Physics is more fundamental than mathematics.

That leads to nonsense when we assume digital mechanism. That's was the point (that you "refute" at step 3 without anyone understanding how). I think we are just back there.
