The notion of computation and computability have been discovered by
Mathematicians working around the foundation crisis of math after the
discovery by Cantor and others of paradoxes in set theory.
The idea is that computation should be redefined as physical
computation is a very recent one, and is due to people like David
Deustch and Landauer. And it does not really work as such. Deutsch
"reconstruction" of the Post-Church-Turing thesis is really a
different thesis.

CTM is neutral on materialism, even if many materialist use
incorrectly comp to put the mind body problem under the rug. UDA,
including MGA, shows why this fails.
What is in MGA which does not work?
