At this stage you should try to be specific about the reasons why an
hardware independent isomorphism cannot exist, or perhaps you are
just saying that first person feeling would not be genuine if they
were not related to some 'physical reality' in which case I could
agree

In your comments above you refer to Platonism. It seems clear that if
we are to regard mathematics or comp as having the kind of 'efficacy'
(sorry, but what word would you prefer?), then we must indeed grant
them

No doctor! Or rather, it depends what you mean by 'what really
describes me'. What I have argued is that, at the 'physical' level of
description, running a hardware-independent computation could never
'really describe me' in one of the main

Mmmmhh This sounds a little bit too much idealist for me. Numbers
exist with some logic-mathematical priority, and then self-intimacy
should emerge from many complex relations among numbers. Also, the

I would
not compare mathematical with tautological, nor with
conventional. This should be clear after the Godelian fall of
logicism. We know today that even just the

I don't see why.

Why not? I find this a bit speculative, and I am interested more in the
