You would have study the papers, you would know that it is hard to give a more 
refutable theory than Mechanism.

I recall and insist that you are the one, who like Clarck, invoke you 
ontological commitment, to evacuate a problem, and not testing a simple and 
general theory, which is not mine (it is already in Descartes, and even in 
antic text, just made mathematical by the Church Turing thesis).

Just study and make specific critics, but it would be nice you could argue 
instead of mocking the theories which put some doubt on the faith in primitive 
Aristotelian matter. 

Physics works, but only by abstracting itself from the first person experience. 
I see Aristotle’s materialism as a brilliant simplifications, but even with 
contemporary physics, we see that it leads to difficulties, and then we can 
understand it does not make sense when we assume the digital mechanist 
hypothesis.
