Hi Bruno,

    How is this the case? YD requires that the mind, or some token of
subjective awareness, can be faithfully represented in terms of TM, or some
other equivalent that can be implemented in a finite number of steps in a
physically realizable machine. It is my belief that such TM are equivalent
to Boolean algebras which have been proven to not be able to faithfully
represent any QM system having more than 2 dimensions.
     A QM system, or more to the point here, its logical equivalent can
embed at least one Complete Boolean Algebra. The converse is not possible
exept for the trivial case. Unless the Multiverse is restricted to 2
dimensions, how does your claim *not* fall apart?

Onward!

Stephen
