Hi Bruno Marchal
I have to confess that I have been of two minds
on the subject of creation of structure and life:
a) creation of structure by an intelligent (meaning living) body or self
(which requires subjectivity)
b) the act of structure creation without a self (and hence is

This will need some clearing up later, but I have to write down what
I think I know in order to understand it. Help and comments are appreciated.
It appears that Peirce's three categories match the Leibniz monadic structures
as follows:

Hi Russell Standish
I apologize for using two different concepts of
creation of structure from randomness.
There are two types of creation of structure:
by life, where there is an agent or self to create things,
and by a computer program, where creation is mechanical.

I think you can tell is 1p isn't just a shell
by trying to converse with it. If it can
converse, it's got a mind of its own.

Is anyone here aware of the following?

Does it have implications for MW interpretations of quantum physics?
I'd love to see comments about this.

I think the implication for MWI is that such weak measurements do not
cause the universe to split into a different version for each possible
quantum state. I also think that most of us are aware of these
results.

Hi Roger,
A quale as I understand it is simply a unit of subjective
experience. It's a bit of an abstraction since experience does not
reduce to constituent units, but as a convention for talking about
subjective experience, I suppose it is sometimes useful to be able to
refer to a singular

mathematical form of uncertainty in the equations of quantum mechanics, but

If true, then you have demonstrated the non-existence of zombies

Hi Craig
Thanks very much for your comments Craig. I still need to digest them.
Meanwhile, a flood of new ideas came to me and I just want to set them down.
There are no doubt mistakes, esp. with regard to subjective/objective.

Just because the individual holds the position that he/she is the
