What are the 8 hypostases? I've seen this referred to a few other times on this list and have never really known what it refers to.

It is eight intensional variants of Gödel's arithmetical predicate, that all self-referentially correct machines (rich enough, believing or using the induction axioms, Löbian, ...) inherits from incompleteness.

They are all equivalent, in the sense that they access to exactly the same part of arithmetical truth, but they obeys quite different logic, and those logics provides meta-definition of the points of view.

I have used them also to offer a toy arithmetical interpretation of Plotinus' theology, so here there are, B is the modal box representing beweisbar, and D is ~B~(and can be read "consistent").

The three primary hypostases:

p (the ONE, arithmetical truth)
Bp (the Intellect, or Intelligible) Gödel's beweisbart('p'), the 3p self)
Bp & p (the knower, the Soul, the 1p self)

The two matters
Bp & Dt  (the Intelligible Matter)
Bp & Dt & p (the Sensible Matter)

Three of them split, by the Solovay G/G* splitting, so that for them the true logic differs from the justfifiable logic (useful for qualia, and other qualitative aspects available to the machine).

This gives the 8 (main) hypostases.

They are explained in the second part of the sane04 paper, perhaps with other terms,

http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~marchal/publications/SANE2004MARCHALAbstract.html

and also in my Plotinus paper (here is the PDF):

http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~marchal/publications/CiE2007/SIENA.pdf

Ask any question. You need some familiarity with incompleteness, but those modal logics really sum up a large part of the incompleteness consequences, for machines and many other entities.

UDA, and the comp hypothesis is translated in arithmetic by restricting p to the sigma_1 sentence. This replace truth with sigma_1 truth. That makes The soul, the intelligible and the sensible matter obeying a quantum-like logic. The soul by itself obeys an intuitionist logic, and a quantum intuitionist logic for the sensible matter.

We can' know. An why would not a dendrite be a puppet manipulated by
neurons.
My hand might have a more complex behavior than a dendrite, yet I do
not consider my hand as a person.

Into person, or people.

Like molecules or elementary particles and waves.

The person, including the sensory abilities, is what emerge. To be
more correct, the person is just the universal person, already in
Platonia, described by the 8 hypostases, and which quickly believes
itself to be a particular person when forgetting where she comes from.

The sensory abilities are well described by the universal person
canonically associated to the universal machine, in his "Bp & Dt & p"
discourse, notably.

The waves, the molecules, eventually the number relations
particularize, or incarnate, the person in different context, but they
don't create the person, nor produce consciousness. (I assume comp, of
course).
