Well I'm not sure it's logically possible, for the reasons that Bruno
already addressed.
Bruno is assuming that everything not contrary to his theory exists
axiomatically…

which is assuming the answer.

I recall that my assumption is only that the physical brain can be
emulated at some level by a digital physical machine so that we would
survive in the usual sense.
Then to just define “digital” we need to accept "very elementary
arithmetic" (like RA), but then, it is just impossible to use an
assumption of primary physicalness to select the computations in
arithmetic. We need to select it by the measure on the first person
experiences, and this gives the first coherent explanation of both
consciousness and matter appearance, where physicists just do not
address this question since a long time.
Not just "accept arithmetic", but also to suppose that all possible
computations exist via a UD.

My work says nothing about physics, but it shows that with Digital
Mechanism _in *Metaphysics_*, physicalism does not work.
