I’m just exploring what would logically follow from consciousness being Turing-simulable, and what would follow if not.
I see. It’s been a long time since I critically examined the relationship between what is true in a Turing simulation is what is true in reality … but I’m beginning to remember what those questions were about. (Is reality discrete? Countable? etc.) If you just assume that reality is a Turing simulation for all intents and purposes, like I do most of the time, then the discussion didn’t make sense.
