But what machine is that?
That’s a very good question, but not an easy one, especially if you are not familiar with the “universal dovetailer argument” and our self-multiplication in arithmetic. The brain exist phenomenologically, and it is not a machine, even if it is something which supports computation. In fact it is the same for a computer. You could say that a brain or a computer is a digital machine (supporting our computation), but that it is itself supported by an infinity of computations. Intuitively (accepting classical quantum physics momentarily) a piece of matter is a map of all the realities you will access if you attempt to figure out some aspect of those sub-level computations. You can imagine that there is one computation for each possible position (and momentum) of each electron in that piece of matter, and the electron itself is a complicated invariant of some possible field. But the multiplication can be triggered by the observation, by some alien, even far away, of its own piece of matter. Such a multiplication is contaminated by the alien to you, at the speed of light (or below) assuming again the physics of today (which we seem to recover until now). It is certainly hard to imagine: a brain our a physical computer is made up of the histories we can share, and which are supported by the infinitely many computations (which are run in Arithmetic) with more details than we need to have our computational state. An image would be that a piece of matter is made of those computations, but that is still a misleading metaphor, as matter is not something made of anything, but is more like a qualia (a first person notion), which we can share among locally independent universal machine. I can argue, that both intuitively (with some many-world account of QM) and formally (using the self-reference logics and the quantum logical formalism) that nature confirms this (with some degree), but that will not help, QM itself does not admit simple interpretation, and there is no unanimity of how to interpret it. Mechanism makes this both more simple (the many computations are easy to study), and more complex, because the internal views are based on incompleteness which is rather counter-intuitive too. It is exactly what I am searching: what is matter when we understand that the physical reality is more like an infinity of computer simulation interfering statistically? The math, a bit like with the current physical theories, can only give epistemic observable and predictions rules, and that is how we can test mechanism experimentally. Matter conceived as something made of tiny particles is a concept that we need to abandon: they are abstract feature introduce by ourself when we look at things, but with a very general notion of ourself (all universal machines in arithmetic). The math suggest that the “bottom” of the physical reality is a highly symmetrical structure which is highly not symmetrical from the perspective of the average universal number in arithmetic. I hope this helps.
