Bruno, That explanation is very helpful. Can I conclude that human beings and perhaps all other kinds of beings, are then arithmetic machines that can participate in the hallucinations? Richard On Mon, Oct 14, 2013 at 3:41 AM, Bruno Marchal marc...@ulb.ac.be wrote: On 13 Oct 2013, at 17:35,

Dear Russell, Back in 2012, you made the following claims regarding my general attack on Bruno's mathematical reductionism: 1) Self-awareness is a requirement for consciousness 2) We expect to find ourselves in an environment sufficiently rich and complex to support self-aware structures

Bruno, I can't help it: I liked Richard's interjection. Arithmetics (even in your fundamental vision - I suppose) needs 'human logic' to propagate etc., no matter how the elements may be thought to pre-date humans. Does a stone, or the 'root' of a plant, a microbe, or a cloud follow (evolve?
