Any computations going through your current state has a next state. You don't have *a* next state but many next state, any state is always computed by an infinity of computation. > > 2) Is there another equivalent set of words for "the physical world is the > limit of all computations going through your current state"? > The physical world is the thing that is stable in the majority of computations that compute your current conscious moment, if computationalism is true (if consciousness is turing emulable). > > 3) Is there at least one physical system running the computations? > No, if the UDA is correct... well technically there still could be a primitive physical universe, but you could not use it to correctly predict your next moment, nor what you see, and you would not be able to know what it is (because all of what is accessible to you is in the computations that support you, still if computationalism is true). > Is the "physical universe" a purely subjective appearance/experience for > each conscious entity? > It is subjective in the sense that it can be only known subjectively.
