Hi Godfrey,
't Hooft's work is motivated by problems one encounters in Planck scale
physics. 't Hooft has argued that the no go theorems precluding
deterministic models come with some ''small print''. Physicists working on
''conventional ways'' to unite gravity with QM are forced to make such bold
Hi George,
Thanks for the clarifications. Let me see if I understand you better.

"I" is the kernel of consciousness.
Hi Saibal,
You are correct that Gerard 't Hooft is one of the world exponents in
QFTh.
But Quantum Field Theory is but one small piece of QM and one in which
non-local effects do not play a direct role (as of yet). Understandably
't Hooft's forays into Quantum Mechanics have not, however, been
Hi Godfrey, Bruno
The "I" that I consider consists of a logical system that defines and
coincides with the physical system that the "I" inhabits. Thus the
world (the slice of the plenitude that we can observe) is anthropically
constrained by the "I."

So the "I" is (1) a logical syste

Bruno,
You speak of "God." Could you define what you, as a logician, mean?

You have no guarantee of "whom" you are "experiencing". it is your

Because a) you have experiences but not experiences of yourself and
In what way dont I have experience of myself? Who am I experiencing now?
Someone else?
b) experiences are not more certain that every scientific truth.
Experiences are often misleading or outright illusions.
