Bravo PGC. Very Well Said. Delusions of reality as based in a purely mathematical scheme will never amount to a "theory of everything..." Just another quaint, historically bounded, and deeply ontologically committed idea with absolutely no practical relevance, much like Thales' commitment th

Bruno, apologies for incorrect attribution and thank you for this insight. I will need time to understand "derive physics from a statistics on the natural number computable relations" as well as the shortcomings you illustrate regarding Tegmark and Schmidhuber; I'll begin by reading the SANE20

Re: Is consciousness hypercomputable?

If we could harness the undecidability of the spectral gap to implement infinite real weights for Hava Siegelmann's analog recurrent neural network model, then I suppose we could in theory achieve hypercomputation. This would have many incredible consequences. We wouldn't be able to develop an
