sub·jec·tive (sb-jktv)
adj.
1.
a. Proceeding from or taking place in a person's mind rather than
the external world: a subjective decision.
b. Particular to a given person; personal: subjective experience.
2. Moodily introspective....
1a means that the issue does not take place in the external world,
it takes place inside a person's mind.
1b means that the issue is personal, not publicly available.
2) Were the physical laws there before the universe was created ?

How does comp include subjectivity ?
As I said, comp is a bet on a form of reincarnation, as you accept
to change your body for a new (digital) one.
Comp, by definition, at least the one I gave, is the bet that your
subjectivity is invariant for some change made in the local universe.
It presupposes subjectivity at the start. You might read:

Hi Stathis Papaioannou
Don't avoid my question please.
Where do the laws of physics come from ?
I will answer this, of course Stathis can comment.
The laws of physics comes from the arithmetical truth, actually a
tiny part of it. They are the way the intensional or relative
universal numbers see themselves in a persistent (symmetrical, with
probability close to one) manner. Physics is what stabilize
consciousness in the number realm. The details on this are what we
are aligned on, so I refer to the posts, and to the paper above to
see the link with comp and arithmetic).
But you can ask question (I cannot sum up the thing in one sentence).
You must get the technical point that arithmetical truth emulates
all computations. Then everything follows from comp, the dreams, and
the indeterminacy on them.

Hi Bruno Marchal
I understand that comp does not include subjectivity,
but that's just explicitly.
?
Comp is defined by the invariance of subjectivity for some transforms,
so it includes subjectivity at the start.
And, in the conclusion, it gives to subjectivity and consciousness the
quasi primary goal for everything, except the numbers that we, and all
scientists, have to postulate initially.
I have no clue why you think that comp does not include subjectivity.
Comp is the theological believe in the possibility in a form of
technological reincarnation. This assumes subjectivity and persons in
an important way.
The consequence is that you survive anyway, and that "dying" is no
more logically possible or even meaningfull, but that is in the
consequence. I don't know if it is true, but the whole theory (comp)
is testable, as physics is entirely retrievable in comp (and up to
now, it gives the correct quantum logic).
Perhaps something can be made of the
results, like extract energy (structure, which I take to be an
essential of consciousness) from the results. Hmmm.
That would be a numerical caclulation. Could you be wrong ?
Sure. Comp can be wrong, and my argument can be wrong too, but then
the argument is precise enough so that you if you assert that it is
wrong, you have to find where (if enough polite 'course).
Perhaps mind, like Maxwell's Demon, "makes sense of"
raw experience. Finds structure or whatever. That's
called Secondness.
Yes. That is what all universal systems do all the "time", almost
everywhere, in arithmetic. They build sense from patterns, in a
variated inexhaustible number of manner, and this by "participating"
simultaneously to infinities of computations (that is special number
relations).
I wonder if something like this, used as a (Secondness) filter on
the (Firstness)
output of comp , could provide (Thirdness) structured consciousness.
It is not entirely meaningless, but it still assumes Aristotle, and
does not really approach the question in philosophy of mind/matter. It
assumes the basic Aristotelian metaphysics which I argue to be
logically incompatible with comp.
There is not output to comp, as comp is not a program or a machine,
but a theory, which just postulates that your subjective life is
invariant for a a digital change made at some description level of
your brain or body. The consequence is that the brain and your body
are emergent relative patterns in arithmetic. It makes the whole
physics a branch of the theology of numbers, itself part of
arithmetic.
Comp is just the assumption that we are machine. It is the favorite
hypothesis of the materialist, which are understandably not happy with
the result which is that comp is incompatible with even very weak
version of materialism (the belief in the existence of Matter or
primary matter and that is a relation with the matter we can observe).
COMP+ WEAK-MATERIALISM ======> 0 = 1.
To be sure, COMP is still compatible, logically, with the existence of
primary matter as an epinoumenon (that is a Matter not related to
anything we can subjectively observe).
Assuming comp things should be like that:
NUMBER ===> CONSCIOUSNESS ====> MATTER
IMHO mind is constructive mathematics,
creating meaningful structures from raw experience.
That intuition is confirmed by the math of comp + the classical theory
of knowledge (Plato, Theaetetus, ...): the third hypostase (Bp & p)
describe a constructivist intuitionist subject close to Brouwer theory
of consciousness. Indeed. Like the logic of matter justifies quantum
logic (without assuming anything physical).

Hi Richard, Stephen, Roger,
Dual aspect theories are plausibly incompatible with comp. In that
sense Craig is more coherent, but Stephen, and Chalmers, seems not.
They avoid the comp necessary reformulation of the mind-body problem.
It is still Aristotle theory variants, unaware of the first person
indeterminacy.
It might be compatible with comp, but then this asks for a non trivial
derivation, and some conspiracy of the numbers.

Along the theme of a dual-aspect theory of reality,
I recommend the book
"Mind and Cosmos:Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of

It actually has little to do with Darwin but rather discusses how
consciousness, cognition, etc. cannot not be explained by
materialism.

Hi Stephen P. King
Many thanks, Stephan !
I should have known it before, but
double-aspect and/or dual-aspect theories
of mind aren't afraid of using the word
"subjectivity".
Now all they have to do is find out
who or what is the subjectr of subjectivity !
