Who said I am not an empiricist?
OK. I am saying that "fundamental truth (including the origin of the
"universe")" is in our head (like mystics). But then I make this
precise with comp: grosso modo, I am saying that "fundamental truth is
in the head of any self-referentially correct machine (also called
Lobian machine)".
I explain (through the UD Argument) why physics is there too.
I explain (through the interview of the lobian machine) how to extract
physics from the "head of a machine".
But I conclude from this only that comp is testable: extract physics
from the head of the machine and then compare with empirical physics.
If nature contradicts the comp theory, I would abandon the comp theory,
I would not conclude that nature is faulty, just that nature gives
evidence that comp is wrong.
Of course, if comp is correct (and if my reasoning is not faulty) then
I show that mysticism (and especially rational mysticism (like one
millennium of greek theology)) is correct, and that truth indeed is in
our head, but I am open that comp will appear to be wrong in front of
empirical knowledge.
