Physical Church-Turing Thesis

Stronger claim that any physical system's dynamics are Turing-simulable; underlies computational functionalism's substrate independence.

framework
  • Biological Naturalism
    contradicts
    Searle and Seth's position that consciousness requires specific biological/autopoietic processes; explicitly rejected by CIMC on functionalist grounds

    Establishes that all constructive formalizations of computation are equivalent; grounds the claim that consciousness can be realized on any universal computing substrate
  • Multiple Realisability
    associated_with
