Oh, maybe what you are imagining is that it is possible to perceive a homomorphic mind in progress, by encrypting yourself, and feeding intermediate states of that other mind to your own homomorphically encrypted mind. Interesting hypothetical.
I think with respect to “reality” I don’t want to be making a dogmatic assumption “physics = reality” so I’m open to the possibility (C) that the computation occurs “in reality” even if not “in physics”.
After doing some more research I am not sure that it’s always possible to derive a public key knowing only the evaluation key; it seems to depend on the actual FHE scheme.
So the trilemma may be unaffected by this hypothetical. There’s also the question of duplication vs. unification for an observer that has the option to stay at base level reality or enter a homomorphically encrypted computation and whether those should be considered equivalent (enough).
