AG Yes. “x” looks to much like the variable x. > x*s(y)=(x*y)+x ? x multiplied by the successor of y gives the same as x * y + x.

Mechanism is the hypothesis that our body is a machine, or a natural machine-like entity. (It has been discussed in the antic China, India and greek philosopher/theologians. But you need to wait Descartes and Diderot to see it coming back, but, notably with Diderot, also its use by materialists to hide the mind-body problem. Digital Mechanism as I use it in this list, is slightly more precise. The notion of digital machine is the notion of Emil Post, Alonzo Church, Alan Turing, and best explained by Stephen Kleene in his papers and book, notably his “Introduction to Metamathematics” (1952). Just ask me, and I gave more on this … after the June exams, as my scheduling get tighter and tighter those days. > Why do we need these postulate to fix anything? My goal was to reformulate the mind-body problem in the frame of the Mechanist hypothesis in the cognitive science/philosophy-o-mind/theology. Unfortunately I have been asked to solve it, which I did, but that requires some familiarity with Mathematical Logic, which is not well taught. Also, the solution is disliked by the “religious” materialists, and I have underestimate the number of those in some academical circles, and their influence (I got a price for my PhD which has disappears without explanation, just to give one example …). > What is the problem you're trying to fix? The mind-body problem. How a grey brain can create a color perception, for example. But it is more deep than that, as eventually, Mechanism is shown incompatible with materialism and/or physicalism, which is the actual paradigm in most metaphysics and theologies. > How can these postulates explain consciousness? TIA, AG Eventually by the logics of self-reference discovered by Gödel and Löb in arithmetic, and axiomatised completely (at the propositional level) by Solovay. If you agree that for a conscious being, consciousness is true, non doubtable, but also non provable and non definable, then it is long but not difficult to show that all universal machine (in the sense of Church …) can introspect itself (in the sense provided by Gödel), and discover some thing obeying to those axiomatic description of consciousness. 99% of consciousness is explained, + an explanation why the last 1% has to be felt by the machine as utterly not explainable. More on this later, perhaps.
