		<description><![CDATA[There is no &quot;true note&quot;. Like determining which way the lights on a sign, where every other light is lit and they are all each switching on and off, move, the entire perception of a single &quot;note&quot; or &quot;direction&quot; is a construction. Since the pitch of a note is determined by its frequencies, if there are multiple ways that the frequencies can be determined to be a single note, then there really isn&#039;t a note that is &quot;the right one&quot;.]]></description>

		<title>Comment on Confusing Baggage by Don</title>

		<description><![CDATA[The assumption of an external reality is a HUGE assumption grounded exactly in the kind of baggage Tegmark seeks to eschew. What does he know of the links between sensory stimuli and the eventual construction in human awareness of a conscious representation?  He ignores the simple fact that color does not exist in physics but exists in our awareness.  Yet, physics does not exist in the external world, but only in our consciousness. So which is more real? Which constitutes baggage? If his extraterrestrials have color as part of their awareness, does this exclude them also as baggage?

To assume a world exists outside of consciousness implies understanding consciousness.  If Tegmark understood consciousness, it is on that topic he would be writing, and not on some speculative, poorly crafted pseudo philosophy.

Additionally, the rejection of Godel&#039;s theorem is outrageous. According to people like Wolfram and Chaitin, one can interpret Godel&#039;s theorem to mean that some times the description of a system has the same information content as the system.  Hence, the description is redundant.  Or in short, some natural systems cannot be &quot;scientized&quot;: the system is its own theory, so to speak.  Are we to simply discard all such systems as baggage.

And the idea of a hierarchy of description is just a tired and worn out fantasy.  It is a smoke screen hiding...nothing.  It sounds nice, but let&#039;s see it in practice, please.

What is this bizarre, nihilistic desire to get humans out of the picture?  Last I looked, both me and Tegmark, and you who is reading this, are humans.  Why do we need to leave the picture? I&#039;m sorry, but it is just plain weird.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not sure what you mean by &quot;non-deterministic&quot;.  It sounds like you might be talking about a chaotic trajectory?  Even then, what about something like in statistical physics, where you have the Poincaré recurrence?  This is a statistical thing, as opposed to a dynamic thing.

 It&#039;s probably unfair though to interpret Leibniz in terms of Einsteinian physics (e.g. a closed spacetime). While Leibniz was a smart fellow, he did not know about all the different manifolds and spaces that constitute modern math and physics. Besides  this though, have you read Leibniz&#039; stuff? One of his premises is that God is continuously creating the universe.  That means that there is only one instant of time, the one that God is at that instant creating.  The previous ones are annihilated and the future ones do not yet exist.  So, there is no temporal repetition at all in Leibniz world.  I suspect that might be how he would answer your question.]]></description>
