From what I understand of Lewis’s view, it’s not a “reduction” in my sense of the word which (I think) also coincides with common LW usage. I generally try to reduce phenomena to programs that can be implemented on computers; the first two scenarios in the post are of this kind, and the third one can probably be implemented as well, once I understand it a little better.
