*Hallucinations and qualia can be derived from numbers* *(numerical reality) *is one thesis. But what is the test? In material reality, numbers do not exist (aka mathematical fictionalism). So positing numbers would add more to the ontology (a Platonic realm in addition to the material realm). *Material reality supports both information (numberical) processing and experience (qualia) processing.* The alternative thesis. That I am conscious is the test that there is a material reality. - pt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
