That is why I “interview” the (Löbian) universal machine, like PA and ZF. Both agrees, the traditional nuance brought by the neoplatonic on truth are differentiated due to incompleteness, and the probabilities are on the sigma_1 true propositions structured by the provability logics and the intensional variants given by those definitions. > > Also, how do you know that we are we not already very old? Perhaps even more so if the Big-bang admits a long preceding history, like branes wandering before colliding … (not that I believe in Brane or string except in arithmetic and Number theory). But that is irrelevant, because the self-sample is not on all the moments, but more on the consistent histories, structure by the laws of computer science/arithmetic, … So what? If QI is true then there are infinitely long consistent histories. Are you saying that the measure is just the number of consistent histories, independent of their length?...a measure likely to be dominated by fetuses.The problem with your argument is it rely on the "fact" that we should only *ever* really live one moment and to expect to be in that moment (either old or fetuses or whatever doesn't matter)... But life is not a single moment, it is a succession of ordered moments... so your argument is absurd. You don't come into existence into a random "moment".
But you have still not explained what difference this makes. How do you propose to assign measures? The whole idea of modeling quantum randomness by first person indeterminancy depends on assigning probabilities to first person experiences.
