Bruno's argument is that if we nail our colours to computation for

Hi Bruno
So you can see that comp, as defined in sane04, is a weaker version of
CTM. (And thus all consequences of comp are inherit by CTM).
Certainly it is clear that your /yes doctor/ hypothesis subsumes CTM.
But since it is a broader proposition, I fail to see why all
consequences of

Hi Bruno
The first seven steps of UDA makes the following points:
1) that comp entails the existence of first person indeterminacy in a
deterministic context. Step 1-3. This is an original result that I
published in 1988 (although I made a dozen of conference on this in
the seventies).
Peter,
Everything is fine. You should understand the reasoning by using only
the formal definition of arithmetical realism, which is that a
machine is arithmetical realist if she believes in the axiom of
elementary arithmetic *with* (the realist part) the principle of the
third excluded
An aside, concerning what actually requires simulation / arithmetic
explanation.
The algorithm of the collapse dynamics itself operates in a domain meta
to the physical, and in this regard there is a reversal of causality
with respect to the physical and the arithmetic. But I don't think

How do you define the relative point of view?
Do you know Gödel's provability predicate? The points of view are
defined by intensional variants of the current provability predicate

Many thanks you for your points 1) to 4) below. Now I am finding it
much easier to see what you are saying.
By 'first person indeterminacy' in 1 below, I am reading this as the
indeterminacy regarding the actual location and thus physical context
/ instantiation of this observer. I would

You reasoning *cannot* be both valid and ontologically
neutral because it has ontological conclusions.
