Hi Stephen P. King
Thanks. My mistake was to say that P's position is that
consciousness, arises at (or above ?)
the level of noncomputability. He just seems to
say that intuiton does. But that just seems
to be a conjecture of his.

Hi Roger,
IMHO, computability can only capture at most a "simulation" of
the content of consciousness, but we can deduce a lot from that ...
So you do say "no" to the doctor? And you do follow Craig on the
existence of p-zombie?
Bruno
Dear Bruno,
If the Doctor's replacement parts preserve the possibility of
quantum entanglement then I would say, Yes to her. No, otherwise. I
do not believe that p-zombies can exist.
QM does not violate Church thesis, and confirms comp. Arithmetic
emulates all quantum computations, with as much entanglement you might
need.
So, you are just putting the comp subst. level very low, in this
answer. But then why did you say to Roger that "MHO, computability can
only capture at most a "simulation" of the content of consciousness,
but we can deduce a lot from that ..." ?
That seems contradict comp, isn't it?
