Stathis,
In what sense is this message an offlist post? Is it just an "oops"
phenomenon?
Now I am curious: you say you understand UDA up to "comp => no material
world exists". Well that's a reasonable part of it. Does it means that
you don't see the last thing, i.e. that physics should emerge from some
1-measure on the computational histories?
I still do not know if you have done the thought experiment where we
execute a "concrete" UD in our apparent observable history/universe.
Quentin,
Did you succeed in explaining that to Stathis? Do you see it? Clearly,
vaguely?
All,
And the eighth step? Do we need to run the UD?
For some, arithmetical realism is enough for justifying that we don't
have to run the UD.
But I don't think so. This would be (trivially, obviously) true if we
were assuming at the start AR+, the pythagorean version of comp, which
ontologically accept arithmetical truth *and no more*. But I don't do
that, even if I think comp leads to it. To prove it, you still need
-either a form of Occam Razor together with an evaluation of the
resemblance of the already extracted qualitative feature of the comp
physics(*), with the empirical physics;
-or a direct argument showing that comp prevent consciousness to
supervene on "physical activity", i.e. an argument à la "movie-graph"
or Maudlin Olympia.

(*)
either intuitive, like the resemblances:
(QM many-1-interfering worlds, comp many-1-interfering computations);
(quantum "immortality", comp "immortality),
or mathematical through the arithmetical hypostases (G, G*, G1, G1*,
S4Grz, S4Grz1, Z, Z*, Z1, Z1*, X, X1, X*, X1*).
The pretty mathematical result I got is that for the sensible and
intelligible plotinian "matter" hypostases, the one with both "1" and
"*" (+ S4Grz1= S4Grz1*) in their names, provide a form of arithmetical
quantum quantization (through the modal "LASE" formula "p -> BDp")
making the comparison mathematically sense-full.
