Yes.
Hi Bruno,
So do you agree that the 3-p point of view is just an
abstraction (a simulation even!) of a 1-p?
This would make the 1p fundamental. This would make vain the search
for explanation of mind, so this does not satisfy me.
With comp mind is the result of the working of a universal number
relatively to infinities of other universal number, so we need to
start from the numbers (or anything Turing-equivalent).
So the 3p can be abstract, but it is not part of the mind, like
"1+1=2" remains true in absence of any thinker.
It seems to me that this would similar to having a model S that is
part of a theory T such that T would change its beliefs as X -> X'
changes, all while preserving the Bp&p term, p would be a variable
of or in X, X', ... .
A model cannot be a part of a theory. I guess you mean a theory which
is part of the theory, and then I mainly agree with your sentence.
We can build theories which are part of themselves, like we can make
machine which can access any part of their 3p description, by using
the Dx=xx method (or Kleene second recursion theorem).
