The Meaning Code | Science Needs a Covenant between Truth and Language: Glen on the Role of the Observer Part 3 @TheMeaningCode | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
In Part 3 of this discussion regarding the role of the observer, Glen weaves together ideas of robust computing (demon horde sort) and distributed intelligence. He makes the claim that it could be mathematically verified whether or not computation is fundamental, and that if it turns out to be so, then language is also fundamental, since computation and language are inextricably intertwined. We also learn that handedness (chirality) is hierarchical.
