Hi David,
I think I see, albeit vaguely, what you mean by your distinction, but
it seems to me more and more complex and based on many non trivial
notion "objective", "context", "boudaries" . It would be interesting if
George and you were able to converge to a "sharable" notion of first
person. I am interested because the first person notion plays a key
role, both in the UDA reasoning (the first part of my thesis which
shows that comp forces a reversal between physics and the
"bio/psych/theology of numbers") and in the beginning of the partial
but "explicit" part of (propositional) physics we can already extract
(and compare with quantum logic) when we translate the UDA in purely
number-theoretical tools (the second part of my thesis).
To be sure, David, there are too many implicit assumptions, in your
person distinction in your last posts, which, even in the case you
would make them clear, would still be too precise so that I cannot
currently make the comparison. I will say more in the roadmap asap.
