? It is the working hypothesis. The argument is in showing that this enforces Plato and refutes Aristotle.

The reason why you say “yes” to the doctor is private. It needs an act of faith because no experience at all can confirm Computationalism. Due to some possible anosognosia, even doing the digital transplant experience oneself would prove nothing, even to yourself (despite the feeling). You can know that you have survived, but you cannot know for sure that you have survived integrally (but you can know that in the Theoretical sense, slightly weakened). A doctor who claim that we survive such transplant, or that science has proven we can survive such transplant is automatically a con-man. > >> The physical reality is given by a first person plural reality emerging from >> complex compromises between truth and all universal numbers.

All modal logic which have the axiom k ([](p -> q) -> ([]p -> []q)), and is close for the necessitation rule (p / []p) admits a Kripke semantics, and vice versa. The theory K has only k as axiom. A modal frame respect []p -> p if and only if each worlds is accessible to itself (a frame respect a formula means that the formula is true in all worlds, for all valuations of the atomic sentences). But []p -> p is not validate in the model with one world, with p false in that world, and having no accessibility arrow. So []p -> p is not valid in an arbitrary Kripke model, and []p -> p is not a theorem of K. That is nice, because the logic of provability (G) has cul-de-sac world (in which []# is always valid trivially, for any #, and such world do not access to themselves), and so []p -> p is not a theorem, and the relation cannot be reflexive. That []p -> p is not valid in the provability logic is immediate if you think to the arithmetical interpretation. []f -> f, i.e. ~[]f , i.e. <>t, i.e. consistency, would be provable, contrary to what the second incompleteness says. Or show that if we have []p -> p (as theorem), you can easily show that the Löb’s formula ([]([]p -> p) -> []p), would entail a contradiction: []f -> f. (Let us assume we can prove that) []([]f -> f). (By necessitation) []([]f -> f) -> []f. (By Löb) []f (modus ponens on second and third lines) f (modus ponens on first and preceding line) Bruno > > Brent > >> >> Note that when we interview the universal (Löbian) machine/number, we use >> only weak computationalism. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Everything List" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/everything-list. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
