I previously said that it is probably meaningless to talk about the position of a 
consciousness and you agreed with me, so all the above means is that one consciousness 
forms memories caused by images of Moscow the other forms memories caused by images of 
Washington, the images are different so the memories are different, so the consciousness 
of the two is different so they become different people. The thing that differentiates 
the minds is not position but different memories, if Washington and Moscow were 
identical cities then there would still be just one consciousness, but the cities are 
very different so the two minds are two. Everybody agrees that if 2 minds are different 
then there are 2 different minds, but I insist that if 2 minds are identical then there 
is really only one mind (not to be confused with brains) while your proof is built on 
the assumption that if 2 minds are identical they are still distinguishable at least to 
themselves,


I don't see that Bruno has argued that.  He has only argued that the two minds become 
different when they have different experiences (in M and W) and they are both the same 
person (in the usual sense) as the one in Helsinki.



and that is the reason I don't think its productive to study your proof after

Because a 1-view=mind; they can only be two if they are different (c.f. your own

Both people will feel IDENTICALLY until differences between Moscow and Washington cause

So you have redefined the word "annihilated" so that it now means pretty much nothing at 
all, and thus  we will need to invent a new word if we wish to communicate the old 
meaning of "annihilated".


You seem to recognize that things are different when SOMEONE IS DUPLICATED!  So you should

duplicate a person and destroy one copy.

If this thing you call "1-comp indeterminacy" were untrue then we would always know what

The Copenhagen theory does explain it. And the non-local hidden variable pilot wave

Right there is the key to our disagreement. In my symmetrical duplicating
room thought experiment even the "1-you" can not tell the difference
between the "3-you" and the "1-you"! The copy appears back to back with the
original a equal distance from the center of the room, both are watching a
video display from a camera in the center of the ceiling of the cylindrical
room. You insist that you are the original but so does the copy (or maybe
he really is the original and you are the copy), you raise your right hand
and you see on the video monitor the both images do too, you jump up and
down but you see both images jump up and down. Not only can't you tell if
you are the copy or the original you can't even tell which image on that
video screen is you and which is the other fellow. If subjectively there is
no difference and objectively there is no difference then there is no
difference between "3-you" and "1-you".

Well, assuming both COMP, *and* QM.

So we don't know that yet.

COMP makes the problem more complex, because the SWE itself has to be  
explained phenomenologically or epistemologically. If both COMP and QM  
are correct, then UDA proves the existence of a deduction of QM from  
COMP, that is from the comp TOE of your choice, like the tiny sigma_1  
complete fragment of arithmetic.


The advantage of comp is that if you accept the knowledge notion given  
by Theaetetus then COMP explains both the quanta and the qualia (by  
the "divine hypostases", the intensional variant of G* minus G).  
Technically the quanta seem to appear there, and this makes the quanta  
into first person (plural) notion, which is confirmed by Everett's  
multiplication of populations of persons, the contagiousness of the  
linear superposition. At the bottom of what is observable, the linear  
rules, comp-apparently.


Unfortunately, the arithmetical quantization []<> p is written in Z1*,  
that is precisely that [] p is Bp & Dp, that <>p is, dually, Bp v Dp,  
so that []<>p is [](Bp v Dp) = B(Bp v Dp) & D(Bp v Dp), and then to  
translate some Bell inequality, you need to evaluate formula nesting  
the quantization ([]<> ([] <> # ...), which makes most quantum logical  
assertion of that complexity still untractable today, despite the  
decidability of Z1*).

In Everett's MWI there is a problem saying what probabilities mean,  
which is just the same as the one in the transporter thought

the mental state, or the computational state of the belief and the  
knowledge is the same, and a belief becomes a knowledge only when  
it is (whatever the reason or absence of reason) true. Another one  
is the justified true belief, which is the one which you can  
translate in arithmetic with Gödel's predicate. You can read "Bp &  
p" by I can justify p from my previous beliefs AND it is the case  
that p. To give you an example, if the snow was blue, a machine  
asserting "snow is blue" can be said to know that snow is blue.  
Indeed, the machine asserts "the snow is blue", and it is the case  
that snow is blue (given the assumption).


The "problem" (for some) with that theory is that it entails that,  
when awake, we cannot know if we are dreaming or not, although in  
dream we can know that we are dreaming, the same for "being not  
correct". It is not a problem for comp which makes that ignorance  
unavoidable.


For a machine that "we" know to be arithmetically correct, we know  
that Bp and Bp & p are equivalent. Yet, the machine cannot know  
that about herself, and the logic of Bp and of "Bp & p" are  
different. They obeys to the modal logics G and S4Grz, but I guess  
you need to read some book or some web pages to see what I mean here.


I find your explications of knowledge to be confusing.  You refer to  
Theaetetus who said knowledge = true belief.  But in your modal  
logic formulation B stands for either provable or proven  
(Beweisbar).  "Provable" and "believed" are too very different things.


Hmm... I am just using Dennett's intentional stance toward machine. A  
machine believes p, really means only that the machine assert p.
I limit myself to machine having their beliefs closed from the modus  
ponens rule, and obeying classical logic, and applying classical logic  
on their description etc. I limit myself on classically self- 
referentially correct machine with respect to some other possible  
machines or oracles.





I think that knowledge consists of a belief that is both true and  
causally connected to the thing believed (c.f. Gettier's paradox).


That is not incompatible with the Theaetetus' idea. Somehow the whole  
problem is there.




  Of course belief that is held because the proposition is proven  
from some axioms does have a causal connection to the axioms.


Yes. And the axioms can be any successful "memes" in the way to  
unravel a difficulty. Axioms which solves many problems and many class  
of problems can win local games.


I identify partially a person with the set of its beliefs. More  
concrete person can revised beliefs (normally), which is not used  
here, given that I restrict myself of the math of the correct machine.




But that is more than just "believed".


Because you talk from the point of view of a much more complex  
consistent (let us hope) extension, viewed at some level.
For the interview I limit myself to an apparently simple machine with  
beliefs, that we all believe in (I hope).






The problem then arises when you say things like, "We know there are  
true but unprovable facts about arithmetic."


No. About the machine. Sometimes that machine is Peano Arithmetic,  
because it is the better known Löbian theory. It is an axiomatizable  
theory, which means, by a theorem of Craig, a recursively enumerable  
set of beliefs.



We only 'know' those things in different meta-system where they do  
have a causal connection to  other axioms we hypothesize as true.


Of course. The points is that the Löbian machine does that too, and  
can even do it for themselves. This gives them ability to climb the  
constructive transfinite, and to develop talks and mind tools from  
beyond the constructive.



But ultimately we cannot 'know' that axioms are true - as you say we  
just bet on them.


I think so. Even unconsciously, when our brain conceptualizes that  
there is a reality behind the back of the computer screen. We  
extrapolate all the times, and we have partial controls and partial  
responsibilities and those kinds of things.


The nice happening here is that by the incompleteness, Bp can't be  
confused with Bp & p. By incompleteness Bf does not imply f, so Bf is  
not the same as Bf & f. (Beliefs can be wrong. Knowledge can't, by  
definition).


This shows that the same set of believed arithmetical sentences can be  
seen from many points of views. They provide an arithmetical  
interpretation of Plotinus, through what happens when a universal  
machine looks inward.

Where is such a thing? The 1-difference does not come from the 3-

As I said before, although I'm not certain I think you could very

one that I believe is downright false, the assumption that 2

I don't do that assumption. Tell me where. You have introduce that

I'm glad you agree that the one becomes 2 during the duplicating  
process, then obviously you cannot predict a single unique  
occurrence that those 2 things will experience because no such thing  
exists to predict,


Of course those things exist, because the copies, by comp, are not  
zombie, and, by comp, have both the same right to claim to be the  
original. They are different because one live in W and the other live  
in W.




two things can not be unique. All you're really saying in this 1- 
indeterminism stuff is that 2 is not equal to one, you can not put 2  
things (like you) into a one to one correspondence with one thing  
(like Moscow or like Washington).


I might say that indeed. I just make it more precise. And explain the  
consequences.




All your confusion stems from the fact that you say "I have been  
duplicated" but don't really mean it and still assume there is only  
one "I". You say Bruno Marchal will feel he is in Washington only  
and Bruno Marchal will feel he is in Moscow only but "I" will feel  
like he is in one city and one city only, and that would be true if  
there were only one "I", but there is not because *YOU* HAVE BEEN  
DUPLICATED.


This does not make sense. No 1-view can be duplicated. Both people in  
the two cities feel one and entire. So they can say "I have been 3- 
duplicated (like my body in Helsinki has been duplicated), but they  
will add "but now I feel one and entire in W, and I could not have  
predicted that".
The same, but more strikingly, with the movie-multiplication. Each  
resulting copies will say I have been 3-multiplied every 1/24 second  
for 90 minutes, but my personal experience is that I have seen one

Then you get annihilated every time you get on a bus going from  
point A to point B. Do you really want to say that?


That will be indeed a consequence of comp. It can be said that quantum  
mechanics, which I do not assume, *confirms* that aspect of comp. Good  
point.




> if you grasp the 1-indeterminacy, you grasp step 3,

I grasped indeterminacy long before I started talking with you, but  
you claim that "1-indeterminacy" is different from "3-indeterminacy"  
and from physical indeterminacy and from mathematical indeterminacy  
and your claim is based on nothing more than the fact that the  
number 1 is not the same as the number 2.


Like you were thinking that there is only one kind of random string,  
you seems to believe that all indeterminacy are equivalent. But  
phenomenologically identical indeterminacy does not need to have the  
same 3-explanation.
