I don't know who I am. But I am *pretty sure* that you and me are, at  
the least,  (local) universal machine. Indeed Löbian one: that is: we  
know that we are (Turing) universal, and we can bet on Church thesis,  
making us truly universal. Of course we cannot know for sure that  
Church thesis is true, but there are good evidence, and then we have  
to postulate principle to progress and make theories (susceptible to  
be refuted).


Knowing that we are universal machine does neither entail that we are  
only that, nor does it entail that we know who we are.




From your words it looks to me as a "super-dooper" Occam razor,  
cutting out lots of details and concentrates on the 'essence'?  
(Those "details" however contribute to the overall complexity - so  
essential in my personal views).


Science alway work by simplifying, until we change the theory.




Consequence: NOW I have less faith in the UM and feel it (her?)  
closer to the conventional sciences - the current level of our  
getting (mentally) smarter.
Sorry I stuck my nose into something I don't understand - but that's  
human.


No worry. We would not discover anything if we were not stucking our  
nose in what we don't understand. Not even sure we would go out of our  
mother's womb :)





I fancied the UM as something above all of us and our knowble world.


In the eight hypostases, that would correspond to arithmetical truth.  
That is way above us and machines. It is way above the knowable (and  
probably so, if we assume comp).


No, the UM is almost banal, bacteria are already locally universal  
machine, and this is illustrated by our own bodies, mainly made of  
bacteria (I like to see the eukaryotic cells has a vessel of  
bacterias, perhaps together with one virus (the ancestor of the  
nucleus, I speculate 'course).


Now, the virgin UM is above us, in some sense, because a programmed UM  
is very often just a brainwashed UM, by its contingent history and  
geography, nature and genetics, or even by its malevolent fellow  
companions ...

Of course, in that sense a baby is above us, the adults.

Best,

Bruno

We seem to be restricted to our insufficient knowledge of the "so  
far". All we can artificialize is that sofarness of (human)  
intelligence. (I emphasize HUMAN  because that's the one we came  
closest to. Bruno's Universal Machine may know more, but we don't  
know the Universal Machine.


The universal machine know less, and that is why it is interesting  
to listen to her. She has far less prejudices.


I am not sure what you mean by "we don't know the universal  
machine". It seems we know her pretty well, even if we often loss  
ourselves in the many particulars, and that we have to be vigilant  
not becoming ourself only a particular machine in a higher organism.
We are universal machine, before being humans. Of course those who  
want to control us dislike very much the idea, for obvious reasons.
