​But that's just it. We cannot ever "see" the other minds, nor even our own for that matter, however much we examine mechanism. But we can believe in them, as we do in our own. Perhaps the least confusing conception of this (following Hoyle's heuristic, which as you know I'm fond of) is to conceive the soul as indeed a soles ipse, though one with innumerable personifications, each profoundly amnesic with respect to the others. But surely that must be true of any computational device capable of compartmentalising one program's states from another's. Is this then the Inner-God? Perhaps, in concrete or perceptual form. But surely the abstract Outer-God is still evidenced in that maximally-compressed creative widget you call the UD?
