Consider 20 consecutive states, s1 to s20, which give rise to several
moments of consciousness. Would you say that running the sequence s1
to s20 on a single machine m1 will give a

Hello Bruno,
I think you are correct, but allowing the observer to be mechanically
described as obeying the wave equation (which solutions obeys to comp),
Hmm well if you have a basis, yes; - but naked infinite-dimensional
Hilbert Space (the everything in QM)?
You put the finger on a

Stathis,
thinking about this way (which I did when reading Egan's Permutation
City) is indeed problematic - because then you would also have to let
consciousness supervene on Lucky Alice (the one from MGA), right down to
Super Lucky Alice (Alice which is made anew for every state through
Thank you for a quick answer! I'll take a look at it, my curiosity
approves additional items on my TODO list :-)
Best,

The classical universal
dovetailer generates easily all the quantum computations, but I find
hard to just define *one* unitary transformation, without measurement,
*The universe is not just black and white...*
Or another way to state that is that two truth values (true and false)
are insufficient to describe all propositions.
I propose the following:
If the universe exists and if
