I'm glad you follow. As I've indicated, I've been inventing this grisly
teminology 'on the fly' in the attempt to make clearer some
distinctions that I didn't feel were explicit enough, and I've probably
found the process at least as irksome as others trying to follow it.
Colin's version is more succint though it will be interesting to see
how he defends it in detail. Hopefully, your roadmap will supersede my
jargon, and we can express future exchanges in terms of this. Lets see.

I still believe I can follow you, but I fear your vocabulary/acronym 
proliferation. I will not add comments, because those would be 
anticipation on critics you will do (no doubt) about the (future) 
"roadmap post". But thanks for trying to be clear and for being patient 
about that roadmap,

Bruno

Bruno

Thanks for the summary, I'll look out for the roadmap.  I'd just like
to clarify the role of FP2 above:

Where FP1i is an individual first-person-as-instantiated, FP2 is its
analog in what I've termed the 'shareable knowledge base' (SKB) that is
part of the structure of FP1i.  The reason I make this distinction is
that when I make some unqualified reference simply to 'Bruno', it is
not thereby clear whether this is meant to indicate 'FP2 Bruno' - i.e
the representation you or I have of 'Bruno' in the SKB - or 'FP1
Bruno', the unique entity to which my FP2 analog refers.  In
inter-personal dialogue, this can become really confusing because one
party may be conceptualising in an FP2-manner - i.e. thinking in a
'naturalistic' way purely in terms of the FP2 representation of the
world and its embedded FP2 representations of first persons - when the
other (usually me, I must confess) is thinking in an FP1-manner - i.e.
extrapolating from the FP2 representations to their FP1 referents. Such
confusion may be implicated in 'Chalmers' delusion' and other puzzles.
I say something about this in my comments on your earlier posts.

To be consistent, what I'm calling FP2 should be split along the lines
of FP1 into:

FP2g - representations in the SKB of FP1g
FP2i - representations in the SKB of FP1i

Does the above clarification make a difference?

Not yet the roadmap (was: Are First Person prime?)

OK, I copy this in some file so as to be able to come back on it later.  
  If I comment it here, before the "roadmap-summary",  it will be  
confusing. Still, before I send the "roadmap" I give the correspondence  
for those who have followed your posts and remember my earlier  
summaries.

FP1g will most probably correspond to the "time/knowledge" modal logic  
S4Grz;
FP1i will not be explicitly treated, but can correspond to any  
particular relative implementation of a self-referentially correct  
machine. Then S4Grz will still work, but its arithmetical  
interpretations can vary;
FP2: I do periphrases to talk about it. It is a confusing notion (cf  
Chalmers "delusion"). Mathematically it needs bimodal logics (or just G  
handled with care);
TP:  will correspond to the G and G* logic of arithmetical reference,  
including self-reference. Of course the dissociation of the  
corresponding logics into G and G* (and the non-dissociation of the 1  
person logic S4Grz = S4Grz*, is a key phenomenon which is forced by the  
incompleteness phenomenon. G corresponds to the provable  
self-referential statements and G* will correspond to the true  
self-referential statements. That the set of true statements minus the  
set of provable statements (that is G* \ G) is not empty is due to  
Godel incompleteness.

But there are other hypostases (person pov): the 0-person pov (More or  
less Nagel's pov from nowhere) which can be  just "arithmetical truth"  
with the comp. hyp. It plays the role of the neoplatonist "ONE" in the  
arithmetical interpretation of Plotinus's hypostases.
Then there is the "matter" or "1-plural-pov" where "matter" becomes  
apparent ...

I will try to present a roadmap tomorrow or the day after. In the  
meantime you could consult my SANE paper:
http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~marchal/publications/ 
SANE2004MARCHALAbstract.html
You can also download the UDA slides for reference to its 8 steps  
presentation.
