brings up in my mind: thinking in comp (at least: in numbers) translates
'conscious' into 'computed' ??
(That would imply an elevation from the binary embryonic contraption as our
computer into more sophisticated systems, if I dare say: 'analogue'?)

Hi Bruno,
1-OM, (by step 7, correspond to infinity (aleph_zero) of 3-OMs,
themselves embedded in bigger infinities (2^aleph_zero) of
computations going trough their corresponding states.
Between you-in-the-living room, and you-in-the-kitchen there is
already a continuum of stories/computations.
I'm fine up to here.
The alien should be able to shut down the universal dovetailer. By
No, they need not - see below.
I think you (momentarily perhaps?) forget the full consequence of the
seventh uda step. You, in the next instant, is literally determined by
a continuum of computations+oracles executed by the UD. Thanks to
I am aware of Step 7: but I don't agree that all computations need
correspond to a continuation of an OM.
You agree that some continuations can actually be a non-continuation,
don't you? For instance, in Quantum suicide, there are versions of you
which die (visibly for other observers) - so there are continuations
of your state which code your termination.
I do not see following from UDA that all computational continuations
need correspond to OMs. For instance, in step 1 we say yes doctor, but
we don't say yes to every doctor, for instance to the one arriving with
some cogwheels - no doctor ;-)
So, what I am saying is that maybe in some cases (cul de sac) _all_
(2^aleph_zero) continuations actually code for termination (=the
teleport fails completely, but annihilation unfortunately succeeds).
How can you exclude that? Are you assuming that _every_ computation is
conscious qua computation? (then I would agree - QI; but I don't share
that assumption, and I don't see it anywhere in UDA)
Best Wishes,
Günther
