Hi Bruno 1) Do you have any example snippets from anybody's comp program? Love to see them.
2) How do you know that such an output can imitate a human mental process ?

"Generating geometry" is a too vague expression. Create? Discover? Utilize? Keep in mind that if comp is true, the idea that there is more than arithmetical truth, or even more than some tiny part of it, is (absolutely) undecidable. So with comp a good ontology is just the natural numbers. Then the relation with geometry is twofold: the usual one, already known by the Greeks and the one related to computer science, and its embedding in arithmetic. If the idea of comp is that the origin of consciousness can be traced back to digital functions, I am saying that lets start with an even simpler example of why that isn't true by trying to trace the origin of geometry back to digital function. What specifically does geometry offer that the raw arithmetic behind geometry doesn't? Why the redundancy to begin with? What is functional about geometry? > Or are you saying that because geometry can be reduced to arithmetic > then we don't need to ask why it exists? Not sure. Geometry is a too large term. I would not say that geometry is reduced to arithmetic without adding more precisions.

Because arithmetic (the natural numbers + addition and multiplication) has been shown Turing complete. It is indeed not obvious. In fact you can even limit yourself to polynomial (of degree four) diophantine relation. But you can use any Turing complete system in place of arithmetic if you prefer. Why would a Turing complete system emulate anything though? It is what it is. Where does the concept that it could or should be about something else come from? I will give a proof of arithmetic Turing universality on FOAR, I will put it here in cc. My point is precisely that this kind of universality invalidates Comp. If you have a universal machine, you don't need geometry, don't need feels and smells and hair standing on end...you just need elaborately nested sequences which refer to each other.
