compute substrate, not computer; a physical medium that performs computation. the quickest shorthand example for the kind of substrate most relevant here is "a brain", though that also encodes error; human computation is concentrated in the brain but not exclusive to it

Chaos @chaosprimeReplying to @woke8yearold @quinn_mcg_but don't overlook how there's computation taking place throughout the human body, not just the peripheral nervous system (those retinas!), but in particular the endocrine system, which is a kinda dire thing to have hijacked to perform the spiritual equivalent of bitcoin mining1 reply 0 retweets 12 likes -

Essentially just a "body" or vehicle for the computation/functionality of that entity ?

But in your understanding, they're more ethereal bodies that can be located on different planes of existence/reality. What/whom, in your experience, causes these entities to join together? Whom, in your experience, creates these entities?

let's be clear that a different plane of existence isn't anything fancier than the speed function relative to the position function they join together because they find themselves so closely aligned they may as well, or one dominates and subsumes another; everyone makes them
