I just use Plato’s definition. It is Aristotle who invented a supplementary spurious God along a “creation”. Replace “GOD” by any ontological commitment in some fundamental reality. GOD is defined by whatever you assume to explain all the rest. You are the one believing in a mysterious, never defined, primitive materiality, and you use it to select some computations in arithmetic to make them more real than all of them in arithmetic, but that does not just introduce an infinity of zombies in arithmetic, I also confer something not Turing emulable playing a role in the brain, forcing the abandon of Mechanism.
