Stephen, Right, this is all about wholeness. I suggest that
1. Wholeness can never be 100% independent of context. 2. Since consciousness is materially related in any definition of wholeness, I reason that... 3. There is not necessarily any possible method of extracting, teleporting, simulating, or duplicating conscious entities since... 4. Consciousness may always be the top-most 'cream' of any given system. This makes sense to me from a statistical mechanics perspective. Awareness can be defined as the perpetually least likely possibility in all universes. It is the 'floating superlative'; like the highest mountain peak in any geographic frame, consciousness is the 'peakness' itself - defining the form of the mountain by doing nothing more than just not being underneath any other part of itself. You correctly understood what I was getting at. Brent correctly picked out a flaw in my use of teleportation rather than duplication but didn't care that it's really irrelevant. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
