Can’t I say that the emulation is me, and does morally matter (via FCToM), and also the many people enslaved in the system morally matter (via regular morality)?
Yes.
What I’m saying is that, to use the language of the debate I referenced, “what kind of paper the equation is written on DOES matter”.
It seems like you’re saying that FCToM implies that if a physical system implements a morally relevant mathematical function, then the physical system itself cannot include morally relevant bits, and I don’t see why that has anything to do with FCToM.
I’m saying “naive FCToM”, as I’ve characterized it, says that. I doubt “naive FCToM” is even coherent. That’s sort of part of my broader point (which I didn’t make yet in this post).
Yes.
