Why is it off topic? It addresses exactly what we are talking about - the gap between pure function and form.

With comp you already assume the immaterial so its easier to conflate that intangible principle with sensory participation, since sense can also be thought of as immaterial also. With logical automata we can see clearly that the functions of computation need not be immaterial at all, and can be presented directly through 4-D material geometry. In doing this, we expose the difference between computation, which is an anesthetic automatism and consciousness which is an aesthetic direct participation. > > > > Logic automata proves that none of these differences are meaningful in a > functionalist universe. > > > ? > That any function performed by a logical automata would be the same configuration of bricks whether we ultimately read the output as a visual experience or an auditory experience.
