Yes, a mistake, I'm getting used to the new Windows webmail beta, which so far presents a different interface every time I use it... but never mind, since you're still patient with me, I've deleted the "offlist" from the subject line.

I understand up to the point in step 7 where you explain the workings of the UD. You've tried explaining it again a couple of weeks ago, and I think it is clearer every time I look at it, but I still have some difficulties. I will reply to Quentin's post (which is admirably concise) later. I think I have more basic difficulties also, like the Maudlin argument re the handling of counterfactuals for consciousness to occur: is this requirement just to avoid saying that everything implements every computation?
