I thought you'd have enough pride in your own ideas, if nothing else, to at least try to give a proper answer to the questions I asked, but you have simply chosen to ignore them.
Let me repeat them, in case you missed them, and see if you have the intellectual honesty to at least attempt to explain yourself, for once. *I would like to know what Edgar's answer is. Obviously Edgar's theory doesn't use the UD, because he has clearly stated that he thinks comp is false. He even started a thread called "Bruno's fundamental mistake (IMHO)" ! * *OK, I admit that going on past behaviour I shouldn't expect a sensible answer from Edgar. I know I'm most likely to some snide comment telling me it's too obvious to explain, or insinuating that I'm a moron for asking. But even so, I think the polite and courteous thing to do is to keep asking questions, and I live in hope that I will get proper answers from Edgar, and that eventually, if every step of his argument is clarified sufficiently, it will either start making sense to me, or stop making sense to him, as the case may be.* *So, my original questions were, what is the nature of a world in which everything is computational? For example, is it physical or abstract or something else? (And if so, what?) Does it have physical computational machinery of some sort (like CY compact manifolds), or if not, whatdoes it have?* *From:* everyth...@googlegroups.com [mailto:everyth...@googlegroups.com] *On Behalf Of *LizR *Sent:* Wednesday, January 15, 2014 3:21 PM *To:* everyth...@googlegroups.com *Subject:* Re: Another shot at how spacetime emerges from computational reality On 16 January 2014 12:12, Edgar L.
