I can see the platonism of things or imagine that I can.I am profoundly convinced also (another topic) that math is truly a gift, due to the wiring of neurons. To your point my idea of Ludwig Boltzmann's simply seems logical, or the simplest explanation for things as they appear to us now. I am correct in this proposal? I should be the last person on this mailing list, because where's my mathematical proofs? Yes to Godel, Turing, Post, to Pauli, Dirac, and to so many more. How, I see the cosmos (and who cares how I see the cosmos) is not only as a computation, but as a computation that generated physical reality. Beyond, this I guess that this is the 2nd (or more!)rendition of the running of software, the program(s) have started, letting the errors pile up (the failings of nature around us), though things seem to work well despite this. Finally, to be run when the programmer gets things (for want of a better word) perfected. So am I advocating Nietzsche's Eternal Return? No, that'd also be an error, as in wasteful and redundant, but the idea of God as programmer, courtesy, Juergen Schmidhuber, sort of blends in. Some nights I care and others I don't because of my dear, old, amygdala, and how life is treating me? Hopefully you are doing well, Bruno.

Creates his or her own history and the universe flows forth. Is this true? [SHRUG!] I don't know but it seems conjecturally, tasty Bruno, at least to me. After Göde’s 1931, + Turing 1936 (all foreseen by Emil Post 1920s), we know that all computations, and thus all Boltzman brain (whatever means are used to define them) are run in arithmetic. This disappoints some people when they grasp this fact.Yet it does not trivialise physics or theology, as it leads to a derivation of them from arithmetic, and this makes mechanism testable. Is this true? How could we ever knows that? Ins science we never say that a theory is true, we count the evidences and measure some degree of plausibility (that degree is not a number, note, but eventually a personal feeling).What we can say is that there are still no evidence for a primitively material universe, and rather a lot of evidences against it. The problem with the humans is that in the fundamental domain, they don’t care about evidence, and they care only on their wishes. Many people confused physics and metaphysics, observation and facts, proof and truth, etc. In theology, we still tolerate the lies, we still hide pour ignorance, and put the question under the rug (and mock the solutions by the same occasion). The evidences for the physical laws are not evidences for a physical Universe. What many people miss is just the fact that elementary arithmetic run all simulable reality, and that the physical reality emerges in a non computable way from all computations, making both consciousness and the physical reality not computable, and only partially predictable. Observations confirms this quantitatively and qualitatively (modal logic of obserrvable extrapolate from observation are similar to what is made oblatory from universal machine reasoning and introspection). It is the idea of a (primary) physical universe which is metaphysically conjectural. With mechanism, physics is not the fundamental science, despite its enormous importance, notably for the human consciousness. But “important” does not mean primitively real.

That’s why some say, like Belinfante (working on hidden variable QM), QM implies a God or a Multiverse. The notion of God unfortunately cannot be used in this context, unless God itself is explained, but by definition it can’t. With mechanism things are simpler, there is the arithmetical reality, and the multiverse appearance is explained by the many computational histories, consciousness is explained by a semantic sort of fixed point, and the appearance of a unique universal history is explained by human hubris. As the mechanist explanation is testable, let us continue the test, but I would say that materialism (the belief in ontological matter) is already refuted, which explains why the most serious materialist try to get rid of consciousness.
