One wisdom above all others consists of formulating questions which by their
wording eliminate the answers. Your question starts:
What do you mean by ...our...?
The classic reply: Who is asking? -- It is you and me and all who
*we*can consider normal minds to converse with.
*
I try to be patient as long as I am around, but cannot take seriously a LM
that 'knows' everything 'unknowable' and TELLS US all in an interview. It is
all still in 'our' mind (imagination?) *content*.
Why do you not 'extract' everything at once? Why piecemeal small portions
of epistemic enrichment? All questions discussed on this and any other forum
could be answered. Why are we so shy? (Maybe life would be intolerably
boring knowing all the answers at once?)
(I got it:
it is the 'mathematically discernible' gap ...so is it a limitation? and
only its 'fears', 'hopes', (=suggestions, fantasies?) we(?) in our feeble
mind work/content can produce similar unreal ideas.)
Is the 'mathematical' included to justify the imperfections of a LM?
- No, I did not really ask that.
*
Why did a LM not disclose 'itself' 3000 years ago? with ALL the answers? Why
still teasing us even now? A Sadist Loebian Machine!
Does it have 'rules' on 'how much' to disclose in an interview? Who's rules?
the Allmighty? but that is the LM itself!
You see, I am confused. (ha ha) good for me.
Wishing you the best

Dear John,

(partial) of it.
I asked you this before: what do you mean by *our* in *our* limited
mentality?
Do you mean the Hungarians?
The Americans?
The Humans?
The Apes?
The Animals?
The inhabitants of Earth?
The inhabitants of the Solar System?
The inhabitants of the Milky Way galaxy? (they are so much Milky Way
Minded, you know!)
or
The sound lobian machines?
The omega-consistent lobian machines?
The consistent lobian machines?
The lobian machines?
...
The lobian entities?
... ?
Problem: to reach the total from the limitational part - without the
possession (understanding) of the missing rest of it.
This is exactly, if I get your point, what I think can be done about
the lobian entities, which, thanks to the mathematically describable
gap between what the machine can know and what the machine can hope for
(of fear for, bet, etc.) it is possible to get some large and testable
overview of the comp consequences for any TOEs based on the comp hyp.
Including physical consequences.
Hope this can motivate you for the interview of the L machine (or L
entity), but be patient, thanks;
Best,
Bruno
