For all x there is a y such that phi_y = phi_x (intensional equality). All computations are done in infinitely many exemplars if you believe that 2+2=4, and if you know the definition of computation. > All the other computations/physical states that you think lie beneath our > level of substitution are just manifestations of other minds -- other people. > One physical brain gives one computation gives one person. Problem solved! No. It is just an illustration that you did need to invoke your “physical god” to select the computation. No problem with this move, as you already claim that you disbelieve in Mechanism. Your “solution” simply does not work in the frame of my working hypothesis.
