Hi meekerdb Have you ever seen one of those rubber balls that people squeeze to excercise their hands ? IMHO the objective brain is like that, the subjective brain (c0nsciousness) is like the pressure induced by the squeezing.
In my understanding, comp is like physics or neuroscience. Comp monitors, and only monitors, the objective aspect of the brain, just as physics can tell you the flight path of a thrown ball. Now consider the double aspect theory of the brain. At the same time IMHO the subjective aspect of the brain arises from (or controls, we cannot be sure) the objective function of the brain. So a thought might deform or otherwise affect (eg produce an overall correlated quantum wave state over) the physical brain, and conversely, some physical action on the objective brain (such as a signal on a sensory never) mayl produce an image. So comp can indirectly monitor consciousness, just as a scientific probe or magnetic resonance imaging can.

Actually comp is better than physics here. in physics we don't know why and how electron obey the SWE. It is the ureasonable use of math in physics. With comp there is only math (arithmetic) and from this we can explain why numbers develop beliefs (axiomatically defined) and why they obey apparent laws So you say. But where is the explanation and the explanation of why this electron instead of that electron? It seems your arguments are all of the form, "If comp is true, then everything true is explained by comp."
