We agree, but after the reversal "materialism" has not the same

With comp, consciousness supervenes on matter, but still
accidentally so, and in virtue that some 1p-winning computations are
Turing complete.
Actually, here I disagree. Physical supervenience is not accidental,
but required to circumvent the Occam catastrophe.
You are right, I express myself to much quickly.
Furthermore, if
physical supervenience were not a law, we would expect to find some
physical fact that is incompatible with our existence. That has not
only not been observed, but also a very large number of physical
facts seem
to be quite finely tuned so as to permit our existence.
So it is good that COMP is compatible with physical supervenience
after all,
In that, and your sense, which is not the usual one of the physicalists.
and my understanding of the MGA is that COMP is therefore
incompatible with the non-robust reality.
OK.
