Exactly why I used arithmetic as the example. Arithmetic,
according to your theory of consciousness, is independent of
perception and physics. Conscious thoughts, beliefs are
entailed by arithmetic and so should be independent of tequila.
That does not follow. Even Robinso Arithmetic can prove that a
machine drinking some amount of tequila will prove anything.
That would be impressive. Is this proof published?
It is trivial. RA computes all states reaction in all computational
histories. RA is a universal dovetailer, to be short. In the
simulation of tequila + brain, people get drunk.
That's what I was afraid of. Your theory successfully predicts it
because it predicts "everything", including people drink tequila and
don't get drunk.
But that fact is confirmed by our best current empirically derived
theory: quantum mechanics.
QM also predicts ""everything", including people drink tequila and
don't get drunk".
And I give the means to compare the measure, so let do the test, and
encourage people to pursue the study of the "material hypostases".
We must "just "compare if people get less or more drunk in the
physical reality than in arithmetic, so to speak.
