Are those our only points of reference?
Methinks one ought to start by figuring out sets like:
- computational processes able to be communicated at all
- computational processes able to be bootstrapped using no more theory of mind than is required for effective operant conditioning
- computational processes that can be bootstrapped outside the purview of pre-existing mental habits
- computational processes that should never be launched in the mind of a living being
- pseudo-computational processes that are inherently misperceivable as computable
>The phirst philosophical lesson of phreaking is that sanity is proprietary. These days it comes in "precarious proletarian", "bourgeois bohemian" and "billionaire psychopath" editions (named after the D&D alignments). Which one did you pick when you created your account in the latest version? Did you know you could just nope?
