To be frank, I don't think any formal system can entail (or simulate) the world in its entirety. There will be inconsistencies within such a model sys...
Well, there is just one concrete thing, the world. There is no reason to assume a gap in intelligibility/understanding between the brain and all its f...
Well, I am quite ignorant and uneducated so forgive my lack of knowledge. May I ask if a universal Turing machine is an object that can simulate an ar...
Truth. Truth makes it possible. This is where I contest with the JTB theory of knowledge. Truth comes before beliefs and justification. I don't quite ...
Yes; but, you're asking me how does this forum exist. I'm just saying that it exists in logical space or if you prefer 'state-space'. It could be that...
I'm confused. You seem to be making an issue about degrees of truth or different categories of truth. In logical space all truths are equal, depending...
I am no computer science expert or know all that much about computer architecture; but, what I do know about computational entities is that they are r...
I feel there is a deep connection between philosophy and the mindset characterized by 'anxiety, depression/hopelessness, angst, apathy... etc.' Obviou...
I think mentioning 'emergent phenomena' is apt here. Take Escher's paintings for example... These are properties of a system that are at the same time...
So, my question is... In order to answer such fascinating questions as 'Is the universe deterministic?', then one need compute said physical laws as p...
Posted this question over at physicsforum: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/church-turing-deutsch-principle-and-incompleteness-halting.895072/ I'...
I have yet to see proof that every physical law can be computed, which you (by the way) state as an absolute truth(?) Until then this is an unsubstant...
If all the laws of physics can be computed, then doesn't that presuppose that logic is at least synonymous or at least as important as physics is. Or ...
No, if something is computable (doesn't encounter the Halting problem), then it is real in some sense. If something can't be computed then that is ind...
I think it's ignorant to say that (The West has a bigger military, thus Putin hasn't achieved his goal). The Soviet's realized that they could not kee...
I'm going to try and simplify my question to a more simple one pertaining as to whether Godel's Incompleteness Theorems negates the possibility of con...
So, what I am getting at is what you can ask. My main point is that how can we know for certain that the MWI is actual/real/valid/.../true if the only...
I actually think it's more to do with the years of subversion Russia has been mounting against the U.S and its allies finally showing results. I don't...
So, the Church-Turing-Deutsch Principle can never be known to be true. Thus, we don't know if we can simulate Everittian QM and know it is determinist...
This is an issue because given any sufficiently sophisticated universal computing device there will be "truths" or what can be called manifest physica...
If no physical law can be proven, then doesn't that mean that physics will always be incomplete? In other words, you can have a supposed infinite amou...
For example that some events within a simulated universe can be unintelligible. Or maybe that there are emergent phenomena within a universe that can'...
But, that is the case, because any formal system relies on mathematics and logic to rationalize it. For the matter Tegmark's ultimate dimension of the...
Well if physics is mathematics manifest in nature, then a computer modeling such a mathematical construct would have to face with Godel's Incompletene...
Let me elaborate my reasoning. Let's say that some sufficiently complex computer of whatever origin is designed to simulate all the physical laws of t...
It's my opinion based on my rather superficial understanding of evolutionary game theory that altruism and cooperation are always the better options i...
There is one way to answer this pertinent question. If every physical law is computable, then we can recreate reality (on a much smaller scale) here o...
If the wavefunction exists as a mathematical conception existing in Hilbert space, then I am compelled to agree with Tegmark's belief that reality is ...
Thank you, I think I understand now. One last question that is on my mind. Does Everettian QM obey causality? And if not what determines the evolution...
1. 2. 3. The first quote gives me the impression that this one wavefunction is representative of all interactions between objects in space, which seem...
I find it solipsistic and incomprehensible to view every entity existing in a multiplicity of states in the multiverse. Doesn't one wavefunction entai...
I've worked a couple of places and find work to be the most therapeutic thing one can do when confronted with problems. You basically have some measur...
I don't think the wording was appropriate. Rather we've already had 4, with an upcoming 5'th administration that believes that the free market is best...
Possibly? Are you just being coy about this or really think that people are better off financially than 30 years ago? The free market is not to blame ...
So, in reality, people are even poorer than expected or rather have become much poorer relative to where they stood some 30 years ago. Add some inflat...
Well for starters people can't afford their mortgage despite enjoying tvs and air conditioning. Also, moving up the ladder isn't good just for the ind...
Yes, these are all nice things that one can now afford due to technology and deflationary tendencies that technology and global trade incur. However, ...
