I don't see why. The idea that computation can't lead to what you call "stuffy" existence is not based on some non-computational property of matter. It is based on the idea that computation is just an abstract description of physical behaviour, and real existence cannot spring from abstract descriptions, any more than the characters in a novel can come to life. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
