Mathematics itself seems rather magical. For instance the sum 1+2+3+4+5.infinity = -1/12 And according to Scott Aaronson's new book when string theorists estimate the mass of a photon they get two components: one being 1/12 and the other being that sum, so the mass is zero, thanks to Ramanujan

Re: Is Consciousness Computable?

Hibbs, I do not often share your opinion, but in this instance I do. It seems to me that Bruno's principal argument for comp is that it predicts MWI. Yet MWI itself is not falsifiable or testable. And I think MWI fails the measure problem despite the Gleason Theorem. I think it is a mistake for B

Re: Free Will Universe Model - James Tagg

Bruno, Since you mention Leibniz and since MWI is deterministic and if comp can derive a universal consciousness, that consciousness may know all possible futures, could not the consciousness following Leibniz select the best future of all the possible futures resulting in a single world rather tha

Re: study of salvia reportage - brain region pointed to

Bruno, I do not like comp in the form that it predicts MWI, that is Everett's reality. My perspective is based on belief, indeed religious belief that the universe is singular and that somehow a single quantum state is selected in each interaction from the assortment that can be rigorously calcula

Re: TRONNIES - SPACE

Kim says: Every person carries a unique perspective, their 1p perception of "reality". This is the main reason I go with comp; it's a vaccine as Bruno says, agsinst the elimination of the person. Indeed, if comp is true, persons are the only things that are the really real part of reality. Richard
