Bruno: When you state “that the brain (or whatever responsible for our consciousness) is Turing emulable”…in using the term Turing “emulable” do you mean that the brain is being imitated, is represented, is an instantiation, or something stronger such as the Turing machine actually having inducted number properties of “encoded” information. Could you clarify why the term Turing “emulable” is used and not Turing “represented” or Turing “instantiated” or even Turing “encoded”?
