Locally. Relatively. Yes. Like this post depends on my computer's body
right now. I agree.
"Globally", or theologically, it is more complex. Bodies, like
orbitals, are map of accessible consistent extensions, and things are
rich and complex, especially if you are open to the idea of conscious
universal person, perhaps related to the universal numbers, or the
Löbian one.
Platonists believes in truth, beauty, justice, ... and
computationalist knows that those are like real family, full of
tension and contradictions, which in a sense makes them alive, and
almost recognizable from lives to lives.
Our bodies can be the vehicle of ideas which transcends them.
