Ben,
A few points concerning the central argument:
--Reading the argument again, I again mistakenly interpreted it the
way I had the first time (until I recalled the details of our previous
discussion). The presentation of the argument causes me to assume that
U is some kind of oracle directly ac

("digital" is a subset of "analog"), and non-digital computers have
been generally superior for several decades, this is not relevant.
Gah, that should be *digital* computers

I'm heading off on a vacation for 4-5 days [with occasional email access]
and will probably respond to this when i get back ... just wanted to let you

It seems to come down to the simplicity measure... if you can have
simplicity(Turing program P that generates lookup table T)
<
simplicity(compressed lookup table T)
then the Turing program P can be considered part of a scientific
explanation...

Well, some of the papers in the references of my paper give formal
mathematical definitions of hypercomputation, though my paper is brief and
