It seems to me Olympia is a simple table lookup for the input, the argument he uses to place it in the oracle camp seems invalid to me, he posits that he is able to construct a lookup table that contains the result of the halting problem... and because such table is a lookup table, all lookup tables are then oracle... that doesn't seem correct to me.


I think he did not understood Maudlin's point, nor what is an oracle. But my brain is stoned, not by plant, but by tiredness. I will certainly read it at ease later, but at first sight it does not make sense to me either.

Bruno, I wonder if you're aware of this critique of Maudlin's Olympia argument, which of course also applies to the MGA?
