Hi Stathis,
The fact that comp => no material world is this:
1- If comp is true, then you (the 1st person) is defined by all computations
(an infinity) that pass through your state, hence the "you" does not belong
to one and only one computation.
2- Then as you cannot associate you with a computation you won't be able to
do it in a so called material world if any, because the material world is
perceive through you and you by the preceeding point is generated by all
computation going through this point, hence material world is useless.
The demonstration of Bruno is based on physical supervenience (whether or
not a change in the physical level implies a change in the computation
level). I think the olympia machine of lee maudlin and the movie graph
argument of Bruno show that a computation does not supervene on the material
level.
Another thing is, if you are part of a computation, and somehow someone
succeed to throw you out of it and tells you that now you are in the real
world... How could you know this one is real (despite the fact that you know
the preceeding wasn't in front of evidence showed to you) ? If the first
wasn't real, then why this would be ? why a primary real would exists in
this system ?
Regards,
Quentin
