Yes, that is the basic intuition of why we have to extract physics from 
arithmetic, and eventually on how to do the derivation. If we are implemented 
by programs, then all the infinitely many computations realising us are 
executed in arithmetic (or in any Turing complete) theory, and physics is what 
emerge from the statistical interference of all computations defined below our 
mechanist substitution level.
Then, the mathematics of self-reprdocution and self-reference do the rest.

That makes perfect sense. I work on this since 40 years. It makes materialist 
believer nervous, though, because eventually it refutes physicalism. Physics 
becomes the science of digital machine prediction in arithmetic. Advantage: 
incompleteness not only enforces the theory of quanta, but extend it into a 
more general theory of qualia, explaining why the physical (but also the 
theological and the psychological) divides into sharable and non sharable part. 
It shows a relation between consciousness and the quantum, but it is the 
reverse of the most usual “theories”. The quantum appearances are explained by 
“classical mechanism” and “classical” computer science. Theologically, if we 
assume digital mechanism in the cognitive science, we have to abandon 
Aristotle’s materialist Metaphysics, and go back to Plato, even to the 
neoplatonist’s reconstruction of Aristotle theory of matter, where matter is 
almost defined by where god lose control, that is, where God itself can no more 
do any prediction, like with the self-duplication.

Algorithm splitting as reason for Quantum Collapse

2019-02-13 Thread James Coons
If we are algorithms executed by duplicated brains in a multiverse, is it 
possible that algorithm splitting is the reason for quantum mechanics. It seems 
like a simple explaination. If so then quantum interference takes place within 
a duplicated algorithm. Does this make any sense?
