Could you quote what you said before. Just to better understand. I was answering you. An exemple of a fact is that am conscious right now, then, we can take many observations as facts, like the presence of far away galaxies, Higgs boson, etc. I am OK to count the elementary arithmetical facts. I take as a fact that the sum of the inverse of the naturel numbers exponent some number s is the product of the inverse of the opposed of the inverse of the primes numbers, exponent that number. It is also a fact that elementary arithmetic emulate (in the sense of Turing, Church, Kleene, etc.) all computations. Even the tiny sigma_1 complete part of it. But I am not sure how you could test that you have been unconscious. Some conscious experience are not memorisable, or hardly so. > > > probably selected by evolution, > > Evolution can't select for something it can't see and it can't see your > consciousness any better than I can, but I can see your intelligent behavior > and so can Evolution. OK. I meant selected through evolution.
