To refute what I say, you have to show a math theory which assumes something physical.
Even quantum information theory does not assume any physical objects. They assume only
mathematical relations.
That's not significant. Information theory is the abstraction of message measures from
their physical instantiation.
Assuming that the aristotelian theology is correct, you are right.
But mechanism put some doubt on Aristotelian theology.
mechanism, by its digital truncation, attach the first person to infinities of
emulation/universal-machines/histories; which are 3p, but immaterial (as we assumes only
S et K, or the numbers).
That's assuming your argument is correct.
That it does not assume physical objects is like saying structural mechanics doesn't
assume physical objects because it just works with eleastic moduli, stress, force, and
geometry.
Come on, that's straw man. The theory does not assume matter, but the application of the
theory needs matter,
The application of computationalism needs matter. In the past you've agreed that a
physical world is necessary for the existence of consciousness.

and that is not related to the fact that aristotelian primitive matter bugs when
mechanism is assumed in *cognitive* science.
