OK.

This is weird. I read it twice and don't see where I would mention
quantum mechanics ?
Please note that the 1-indeterminacy I am talking about in the third
step is really a pure classical indeterminacy. It arises from the fact
that my classical state is duplicable, and then I cannot predict which
*experience* I will *feel* after a self-duplication: mainly Washington
OR Moscow (or Sidney *or* Beijing), ...

This is a very different question. I just cannot classically teleport a
quantum computer.
And the UDA is supposed to already justify why we cannot teleport
classicaly any "piece of matter". The rough reason is that matter
simply not exist, and what we called "matter" is just a rough
description of what is observable and that emerges, a priori by comp,
from infinities of infinite computations. But this is part of the
conclusion of the UD Argument. Few people seems to realize that the
violation of Bell's inequality or the non cloning theorem is an easy
consequence of the comp hyp. I think people does not realize this
because they are not used to take the difference between first and
third person points of view seriously enough. This is perhaps a
consequence of 1500 years of Aristotelian brainwashing I'm afraid. Or
they are just confused by the fact that scientific argument cannot make
reference to personal feelings or points of view, although of course
scientific argument can *bear* upon such personal experiences, through
definitions, axioms, discourses, etc.

Yes, but only by running those infinities of infinite (classical)
computations (up to some hard to define equivalence relation: the
lobian interview is all what I found to tackle this, and this is a lot
because it has to eventually distinguish between loop gravity and
superstring theory or whatever the correct third person description is
correct).

Ah but this is not true. Of course you can give me the running
simulator ... in case you do accept Church Thesis. The running
simulator *is* the UD, which exists by Church Thesis. The UD, globally
does "run" all relative states from which, from your first person
(plural) point of view, quantum computation emerges (if both comp and
the quantum hyp are correct). It does it an infinity of "times" (in
Arithmetical Platonia). Although an unknown quantum state is not
clonable, it is "preparable" in infinities of examplars. We cannot
recognize it in any third person way, yet, we cannot not "recognize"
it, albeit implicitly, when we are "living" it.
Of course this is step seven ...

My hypothesis is that we are Turing-emulable, at some level of
self-description. My conclusion is that whatever the "Universe" is, it
cannot be Turing emulable, and in fine the physical laws emerges from
machine theology (say). This makes the comp hyp testable: just derive
some comp-physics, and compare it to empirical physics.
> What is the page reference to Gruska's book?
In the footnote 9 of the SANE paper I am just alluding to the
non-cloning theorem which, if I remùamber correctly, is well proved in
two manners in the book of Gruska. Just look at Gruska's book index on
"non cloning". I don't have under my hands my exemplar right now.
I hope this helps a bit. The key point: I am not mentioning or using QM
at all in the UDA, except for illustrating how the comp-physics, with
its many histories (computation from first person perspectives) and non
cloning phenomena is already similar to the "empirical physics".
I hope this helps,
Best,
Bruno
