If you can replicate intelligence in binary codebase, then you are also proving something about reality (insofar as reality is intelligent), which is: It is Mono-causal, universalist, and simple. What do I mean by complex and simple statements? Egg Report is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. (2 + 2 = 4) = ((1 + 1) + (1 + 1) = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) The former, (2 + 2 = 4), is a complex statement, the latter is a series of simple statements. 2 is a complex sign, the latter is a series of simple signs. The idea I call mono-causal universalism, is, "every statement can be reduced to a series of “simple” statements, in a binary code of either 1 or not-1." I accuse, that the very idea of computation is a kind of “testing” o
