This is false when you assume that the brain or the body is Turing emulable. We are not human living in a physical universe and dreaming about numbers, in that case, but numbers “living” in arithmetic, dreaming being humans in a physical universe. > > 2.

Which confirms that you assume some non-mechanist theory of mind. With mechanism, you have infinitely many body/representation in arithmetic, and the physical is “only” a stable statistical appearance. > > So, for example, if I die, and hypothetically, in the distant future, an > exact copy of my body will be made than it will be an exact copy of my body > and consciousness, but not my current identity, so my consciousness will not > reappear after my death like from deep sleep. > > > I would like to ask you - in your opinion, my two above conclusions are > correct? You assume a physical universe which would have a primitive ontological status, and this is incoherent with mechanism, but coherent with your quasi explicit non mechanist assumption. But I would say that today, the evidences add up for mechanism, and there is no evidence at all for non mechanism, nor for a physical ontological universe (just a bad habit since Aristotle).
