The answer is (1), except that that it's not the algorithm for
generating the laws of physics rather simply you, me, Bruno or whatever

I would agree with you that my Darwin's quote does not express all the
Darwin theory. The point was rather that among what Darwin has wrote one
can find such statements as well.
I should say that I took this quote from Lewontin's review on the book
Jerry Fodor and Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini "
John, I am guessing that these guys are working hard, but achieving commercial,
nuclear fusion is not in the cards. It may never be in the cards, as an
electricity power source, except as, a means of fast interplanetary travel.

Hi Bruno,
I am not assuming a primary physical universe... precisely not. The idea is
that self-awareness is ontologically primary and that this self-awareness,
through its recursive structure, is awareness of all natural numbers (and
possibly beyond) and thus it computes. We could then say it

Hi Peter,
I have not much time, but why to assume a (primary) physical universe.
There are no evdience for that. Also if my body is a machine", the
universe cannot be a machine, unless I am the universe (which I doubt).
"Computation" is a pre -mathematical concept, and actually, an
arithm

that I am aware that ... I am aware. I think it would require infinite

Maybe the infinite hierarchy doesn't have to be thought/remember

I thought Tipler's theory is that there will be an actual physical computer
that will be able to do all possible computations as the Universe collapses
- although since he came up with the idea it has been shown that the
Universe won't collapse in the required way.
Yes, it's not Tipler's main t

Hi guys and girls,
I'm sure this question has already come up many times before, but it's an
important one, so I guess it can't do any harm to go over it again.
If the universe is thoroughly computational, what are the computations
'running' on? What I especially like to know is what options ar
