Hi! Interesting ideas, but a few things to consider with your points. 1-2) Why is it matter that is combining to produce thought? Why not a more ideal...
It could just mean read and comprehend, but we always could go deeper. When you think about it, how do we know that our knowledge or senses like color...
Matter/energy/whatever our "physical" substance is can be "Medium A". Space or whatever the space Medium A operates in can be "Medium B". The sensors ...
We could go down the epistemological rabbit hole and ask all of these : ), but in the context of the statement it is the paper (and I guess myself) ar...
I may get into trouble myself speaking about Physics, but I don't think any of this works against the theory. Our sensors may not be measuring the exa...
It's been awhile since I've done automata / language theory, but I guess it could like a Turing machine in that it takes the "input tape" of physical ...
Fair enough : ). If there is too much baggage with "outside", we could always define the universe as encompassing everything there is, which can inclu...
It is a logical argument based on certain assumptions and one potential property of God. You are free to disagree. Just make sure your alternative sol...
It seems you are taking back your proposal of how storage works, so we are now back to what do you mean by stored, and what is doing the storing? I do...
You say the easiest example is when the sensor is another chessboard, so that sensor is what I meant by the second chessboard. If the sensor is not a ...
Do you envision then that the second chessboard has a third chessboard for one of its sensors, which has a fourth chessboard, then a fifth chessboard,...
There is infinite information in a finite space. There are an infinte number of ways to divide a centimeter, a milimeter, a tiny sphere, a cube, etc. ...
I would argue that the arguments are there, but it's hard to clarify if you just throw up your hands in exasperation. There is a formal logic behind i...
I think in your classification it's a physical theory. There are always points, fractals, or any other construct we might devise that overlays a space...
No worries. Let's see if I can address your concerns. The paper addresses it in more depth, but here goes... Say a sensor covers a chessboard square. ...
Hi , You should be able to just click on the "Download from archive" button on the PhilPapers page. If that doesn't work I can post another link. Rega...
Without delving too deeply into what qualia are, if we accept that we had "thoughts", or whatever we call the phenomenal properties, in the past, and ...
Hi, thanks for reading! Some replies... 1) Admittedly, the potential paradox is strongest when considering physical cases, and the physical is not a 1...
I'm having a little trouble following, so my apologies if I'm missing your point. The problem is not the number of inputs per se. There could be an fe...
