I guess, the same work as "actually"? I'm not defending direct realism on that basis.

A running process isn't just a succession of maps? Does magic happen?

Oh good. So, a simulation as a description or theoretical model, distinct from any real or imaginary structure satisfying the description. A map, dist...

Surely the problem is the one frequently pointed out, with the word "simulate" being ambiguous between "describe or theoretically model" and "physical...

Perhaps they meant "perception-independent" rather than "unperceived"?

Cringe as an adjective! And just yesterday in the Guardian too. ... Oh, online dictionaries are aware. It's informal and British. Ok.

Sure, but also, P(y = x) = P(z = 2y = 2x) = {1\over2}\\P(y = 2x) = P(z = {y\over2} = x) = {1\over2}\\\\E(z) = {1\over2}2y + {1\over2}({y\over2})\\\\E(...

Don't you mean: E(x) = {1\over2}({2x}) + {1\over2}({x}) = 1.5x ?

Hmm so you were distinguishing neural alarm from bodily trauma?

That seems tantamount to accepting the ghost as ghost? Which could turn out to be appropriate, of course. I'm just pointing out an alternative.
