Doesn't it reference some 3rd > person standard of "correct"? Yes. Like in a plane with an altimeter telling the plane is 1 miles above the sea, when the plane actually *is* 1 miles above the sea (with respect to its most probable relative computation history). "Correctly implemented" means---assuming comp and thus assuming the existence of the substitution level---that the doctor has luckily implemented the "Napoleon's software" at that correct level (or below). I could have said: > 1-memory of the past is correct given that they have been correctly > implemented, *by assumption*.
