It proves only the sigma_1 (true) sentences. Computation is, in term of proving, the restriction of proofs on the sigma_1 sentence. > > Now if you would find the diophantine equations that compute this world and > only this world that would be something. No, that would not solve the mind body problem, you need to justify how that computations, if it exists, get selected by your consciousness, and this leads to the fact that not only all computations done at finer grain of precision (i.e. below the substitution level) must be taken into account, and the physical laws, maybe the universal wave must be derive from that the purely arithmetical reality (or combinatorial, or lisp-able, etc.). Once you have a universal machine, be it a universal diophantine polynomial, or a universal combinators, or a universal game-of-life pattern, or a universal Turing machine (set of quadruplets) you can implement the solutions, or one, of DeWitt-Wheeler equation, but that is cheating: you need to justify the whole physical formalism before, and this only from the self-reference theory. That has worked until now, as we recover quantum logics exactly where we need them. The physicalist theory cannot work because it blurs G and G*, confuse quanta and qualia, use an obsolete mind-brain identity link, and is often based on hypothesis having no empirical basis, like the existence of some primitive matter. Now we can test it, and the evidences obtained suggest that the empirical reality has no primitive matter. Such metaphysical matter will disappear like the phlogiston. Nobody can provides evidence, and it makes the mind-body problem unsolvable.
