Programs in a language with experiential modalities could execute “for real” in that computing substrate, as opposed to the informational-only supporting hardware. *The connection between experience (phenomenal material consciousness) and truth (experiential modal logic) would be that it is possible for there to be different kinds of consciousness via alternative material substrates.* What does this imply for philosophical zombies?
