A mind function is a computer function. A computer function is the same function with the same results in any kind of computing system. So the kind of computer and the kind of system drop away at the level of the function. All are in *that* kind of system.

So what we think of as experientially model-free or concept-free still have their own structure at a higher level. What really drops away is the subjective talking-mind; the inner voice; the subjective conceptual framework.

Yeah. Assuming our best computat models apply everywhere is just that - an assumption. Why should it apply to the unknown or unknowable? This is NOT to detract from the dazzlingly elegant models composed recently. The models are just incomplete & the best out there dont deny it.

Yeah this is kinda my intuition. But I think that if the Deutsch CU hypothesis doesn’t apply to mental states in the way I’m imagining, then it implies something like panpsychism and distinct experiences for most objects.

Mental states ( thoughts, sensations, feelings, experiences) are limited and limiting. Our brains are crude instruments. Language falls apart in describing what's beyond mental function but it is there nonetheless. Some refer to it as *the substrate* but its alive & aware.

Of course you will discover that your substrate is alive and aware, because you will per default perceive that you are your self, not your mind, i.e. the mental architecture that produces the computational simulation that your self inhabits.

Great point. Confirmation bias! Experientially ( fwiw) its more like a burning flame . Tell me, why computational simulation - is that thought to be our final human understanding? Something else? I dont understand the certainty.

You will probably not deny the fact that you inhabit a virtual reality generated by the brain of your host organism.

Not me, but the one they call David doesn't. Im probably going to have to stop because what appears to be *crazy talk* is ill advised in public.
