You know that the "necessity" of 1st person viewpoints is what I
consider the most easily explained (through the translation of the
Theaetetus in arithmetic or in any language of a lobian machine).
You refer to paper as hard and technical as my thesis. You should
explain why you still believe the 1 person is dismissed in comp or any
monism.
Also, Pratt seems to me monist, and its mathematical dualism does not
address the main question in philosphy of mind/cognitive science. Its
paper is interesting but could hardly be refer as an authority on those
question at this stage.
