Bruno,
Thanks for the welcome, I've been looking over the list archive and
have found your posts to be very logical and concisely described. From
what I gather your believe in mathematicalism and computationalism. In
the posts of yours I have seen, I have not come across anything that I
would disagree with. My question is, do you see ASSA as incompatible
with COMP, and if so how? One of the ideas I describe on the website I
posted is that Turing machines, being mathematical structures exist and
there should exist an instance of a turing machine for every possible
program. Some of these programs define more states than others (before
looping or halting) and life forms should be most likely to occur
within programs that define the most states. Is what I described
compatible with both COMP and ASSA?
