Dear Bruno,
I just hope to see your theories considered objectively and respectfully. They deserve no less. Warmest wishes,
marty a.

Thanks, m.a.
At least Cantor has been lucky to have respectful adversaries like Kronecker. I am still criticized in my back on work I have never done by people I have never met. The years 1977 and 2008 have been the worst, and I ask myself if I should make some move.
Also, there has been three people who told me they have abandoned their PhD thesis, or change their subject when they have been asked for not referring to my work, or just my name. My work will be given its due, perhaps without my name: it is not so important. Or is it?
My work in the seventies were just theoretical computer science, and were just slightly visionary, but even then, and especially at that time, the problems were not related to some work of mine: it is really the contrary. It is because I am ignored, for stupid bad and contingent facts which I have been unluckily witnessing, that I have pushed a little bit more the obvious revolutionary aspect of the comp hyp. It is because I am ignored about simple mathematical facts (that any patient scientist can verify, and actually have verified), that I have decided to single out the theologiical aspect, I have tried diplomacy during 20 years without success, so that the strategy, changed by itself. Time is running, not for me but for everyone, locally and nowadays.There is no economical crisis, you know, only a deep ethical crisis. Soon or later this will be clear, if not already.
It is not a coincidence: I am fighting for the listening of the first person internal to a theory, against person who practice the elimination of person, in the scientific inquiry. But they just confuse a genuine simplifying methodology, with a scientific statement (generally more neutral) And this is just not working, obviously in the human sciences.
On another level; It is easy to hate "my work", or to make people hating such work, because it is above all a remind that "science" has not yet solved the "mind-body problem". The opportunity of the computationalist hypothesis comes from the fact that it gives a mathematical formulation of the problem, or of many subproblems.
I am just asking a question, like, - look with comp I am duplicable there is something weird, no?. Because this *seemed* to be unclear, I have made it clearest through paradoxes, and then argument. and eventually the math and the computer science. It is a question like, do you see where matter comes from when machines, betting they are machine, asks themselves?
Don't worry for me, I am dead since a long time. This gives me infinite power and patience.
In the worst case I could come back next millenium:)
In the very long run I am optimist, if the humans does not take the opportunity, the spiders will. In any case we will see. With comp, as far as we are divine; we are hypotheses ourselves. We are divine hypothesis.
And then, what makes me rather optimistic right now, for the future of comp, is the discovery of Salvia Divinorum. It looks like she can teach "my work" in less than four minutes! We can't stop the progress, isn't? Take this with some degree but I got many confirmations through reports by others. I will say more later asap, in response to Johnathan. Not that those people does suddenly discover that reality is different, but that reality *can* be different.
We are living an incredible and wonderful period, m.a., we are living the discoveries (and development) of the Universal Machine, the other Universal Machine, and then that plant. That plant helps, like remembering your dream can help. Philosophizing on video-game based movies and novels can help too. Simulacron III and Matrix can help.
The only thing which I have to explain for those who already get clearly UDA1-6, that is the main difficulty of UDA7-8, is the understanding of the difference between a computation, and a description of a computation, it is really the difference between a number and a relation between the numbers.
Thanks for your kind attention, and best wishes,
Bruno
PS I participate to a little colloquium now, and I will find time to comment other posts probably only monday. Have a good week-end.

Dear Bruno,
Cantor also had an ignorant, implacable nemesis who stalled his career, but he was totally justified in time. I hope you live to see your theories given their due.

The little scandal has grown up all the time and is too big, now. It
is the kind of manipulation which makes everyone feel responsible,
from corporatist reflex to corporatist reflex, when actually there is
only one, very clever, but very bad, guy.
