I don't know it, I understand it. My understanding could be incorrect, but I have seen no reason to suspect that so far. My purpose is not to make assertions about what computers will never be able to do, it is to present a framework for the organization of consciousness in the universe. The fact that computers thus far are no more sentient than other machines (something which should be and would be obvious to anyone not enthralled with science fiction religiosity about AI) makes sense in my framework, given that qualities of participation and perception accumulate through experience itself and cannot be imported from a completely foreign context. My model suggests that most physical qualities can only be experienced first hand from the inside out, so that a device built entirely on exterior qualities (positions in space) has no chance of accidentally reproducing an interiority which has developed longitudinally through time as sense experience.
