But Church-Turing thesis has nothing to do with physics or the physical sense. Then you don’t know if a machine, even in the physical world is bounded, unless you make special assumption on some existing universe. With mechanism, there are no evidence for a physical primary universe. We would have found one if we would have discover a serious discrepancy between the Nature’s physics and the physics in the “head of the number”, but we have tested this as far as possible, and found none. > So that must have consequences when saying yes to the doctor.

I know it is counter-intuitive, but we were warned by G*: it has to be counter-intuitive. A brain is more a filter of consciousness than a producer of consciousness, up to some point. This is not used in the derivation of physics, and is just something making the whole theory much more smooth. It is also confirmed (actually suggested) by the reports of the experimentation with some drugs, or of some near death experience. Even the belief in the induction axioms, which leads to Löbianity, seems to be like the beginning of the delusion.
