Bruno,
addendum to my post before. You wrote:
BM:
But ok, you are just arguing for the non-comp assumption.
[JM]:
No, I just speak about 'another type' comp, a non-digital contraption that handles meaning, function, without the crutches of the (hypothetical? at least unidentified) numbers - those mysterious factors creating the world.
Some fantasized earlier about using the 'digital-type' computer-idea with proteins as chips, I think the analogy came from the biological complexity. That, too, is the application of the inadequate past into a better future in my opinion. I am hoping for something NEW.

I leave open the 'origination' of which the smartest brains could only utter some fantasy so far. Within their theory.
In my 'narrative' I shove the qiestion under the rug of the plenitude. It is the ultimate 'given' I use (redfaced). We have no way to penetrate those fundaments which we cannot penetrate. (Trivial enough?) In spite of your perevious remark that a L-M CAN deduce things beyond our (its?) cognitive limitations.
BTW:
what do you mean by "interviewing the L-machine?

John
