Actually, the words I wrote yesterday were a rough draft. The smooth
copy follows:
Noncomputational
Humankind
is not the measure
of all things.
Humankind
is only the measure
of human things.
Human beings
are material in origin.
The organic brain
is also
material in origin.
In higher mathematics
and computer language,
an organic brain can
in principle
be emulated
by a single algorithm.
Organic brains
and intangible
conscious minds
are generated
on different levels
of conditional relativity.
Consciousness,
per se,
is a transcendental
continuum
of physical energy.
Each conscious mind
is a transcendental
concatenation
of unique thoughts.
Thought
is noncomputational.
Mind
is noncomputational.
Neither thought
nor mind
can be emulated
by a single algorithm.
