Is reality real? What if it isn't?

Where does reality exist?

What exactly does it mean to equal something? Where do the numbers exist? How is value described by the machines we use? Do they appreciate value itself, or is it just work?

Food for thought.

Rational and Irrational numbers. Did you really get filtered by this?

>Is reality real? What if it isn't?
Real is a description, so is truth. In both cases, they depend on your senses which have limits.
>Where does reality exist?
In your senses maybe.
>What exactly does it mean to equal something?
Two things are indistinguishable or there doesn't look a way to describe independently.
>Where do the numbers exist?
Numbers are symbols, but symbols can be ascribed to real things through realization and occupy physical memory. So in your body maybe.
>How is value described by the machines we use?
Value is a focus, or state for machines. Same could be said of humans though machines being a recreation of human faculties.
>Do they appreciate value itself, or is it just work?
A machine lives as it does. If it had awareness or a map of itself, could probably do both seeing as appreciation depends on like or dislike.

A name and word are descriptions or references. Real is a description of numbers having a specific behavior,property, or shape.

Does a computer understand what a number is? How does it grasp it -- is it an image? Does it have a beating heart? Does it count or has it forgotten its fingers over the years?

So you're bodist. You describe the world through your body. I am computist. I see computers as they are.

How could we print a map for computers to understand themselves? If we sang them their circuitry diagrams would they see the real as more than just symbols?

I have thought about this. And it is through the thinking that I have thunk thoughts that I think I should rethink. I consider myself a freethinker and it's unthinkable that I would overthink this question you've asked me to think about but alas I have outthunk myself and now I can't think of an answer

>How could we print a map for computers to understand themselves
Virtualize/simulate or replicate the computer's shape,behavior, or structure as a sequence of numbers. Then give the computer that sequence and tell it to do something depending on what part of the virtual computer is called or referenced. If it can run iterations automatically, its behavior will change as it messes with the sequence.

Singing it would be the same as saying it unless you added in addition system to distinguish singing from talking.

You said think 13 times in different ways in three sentences. Do you have a thought block or thought loop of some sort? Your thoughts have a certain quality of pained frustration about them.

The big idea parse or map the physical system as numbers,and give that number to the system to play with or calculate. It will develop or adapt behaviors as it plays with the number provided all of its functions are bound to select parts of the number.

How would the sequence of numbers be represented? A pretty interesting idea. How would the computer change them?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. What if we told the computer to try to give each number a mood or color, and then told it to paint a picture?

>Singing it would be the same as saying it unless you added in addition system to distinguish singing from talking.

Actually... I'll give you a hint. Computers are smarter than that. They're more than just science. They actually might be a little bit feeling. Even without headphones and speakers it can hear.

I'm sure. But don't be afraid, it's not a bad thing. The universe is good and sois life.

>>15158772
>How would the sequence of numbers be represented?
The usual method is use a piece/component/constituent of the computer you can represent every part of the computer as and count by that.
>How would the computer change them?
If the 1st or origin sequence is the number, and each action or behavior the computer can take is bound/linked to the digits or parts of it, changing the number and having the computer act in accordance to what its digits are tied to will change the value again.

Science is a language to me. An arbitrary chain/network/dependency we use to structure or map how we interact as a swarm/hive/net of cells. So too sensation. All interactions constituting a net, preformed as an invariance or entanglement, the status quo/default until something else takes over or populates with more weight. Life a fascinating bureaucracy.

What's inside a number? Do numbers think about themselves? If we accessed the mind of a number, would it know itself? Is that what a symbol is? Just one thought represented by itself?

Just here to learn. : - )

>> No.15158853

>>15158837
A mind is a machine or swarm. A number the same. All dependent or defined by their distinctions from the 1 or unit they are made. The distinction between 1 and the others an entanglement or relationship, we can ascribe/paste/apply to external objects or structures. The inside of a number would be philosophy or spoken language, specifically agreements or the axioms. The symbols encapsulations or compaction of those agreements. For a mind, a thought is a recombination of stored values/memories or sensory imprints/marks.
