I don't think so. I test human introspection and theorizing, with
physical apparatus, or just by comparing with today's physics.
I already got that the loebian physics cannot be boolean, and that it
looks like a quantum logic (details need more advanced stuff, but that
appears through the genuine "hypostasis" ("person point of view" in
Plotinus).

I say "loebian physics" instead of my usual "machine physics" because I
take more and more into account that G and G* are correct for much more
than machine, it concerns many angels too.

It is here that the theorem of Godel, Lob and Solovay put a big light
on the roots of the difficulties so that I invite people to take a look
at it. Thanks to Solovay we can use simple modal logic to express the
main point. I will say more when we go back to the hypostases ...

At some point I should present some "concrete" lobian machine like
Peano Arithmetic, Zermelo-Fraenkel theory, and some concrete angels
like Anomega (Analysis + the divine (even Boolos uses the term page
xxxiii) omega rule which permit you to infer universals from an
infinity of proofs).
Like Boolos and the logician I use "Analysis" for axiomatic second
order arithmetic.

All obeys G and G*. G and G*. Here the "schrodinger equation" of
self-reference, if you want.

Best,

Bruno
