I don't care if I am taken seriously or not, these are "interpretations" and those "tools" you keep referencing are strictly group agreed interpretations. They are also the kind of 'interpretations' which meet this criterion: Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, ...

... I believe the purpose of use is more nefarious and, as I already said, possibly fraudulent. It's interest by large organizations is more likely about encryption/decryption purposes uniquely, and how this can be used to both spy on the 'enemy' and to determine how to hide better FROM their 'enem...

Really, then maybe you should read more considering time is relative and I Can read a book upside down and backwards at the same time... No. Really. I am trying. Reverse character order. Reverse word order. It's bullshit. "space. with left are we Thus itself. space of approximation an to condu...

That constant is error. Indeed. That is a mantra in statistics. All models are wrong some are useful . All a model could ever hope to be is "less wrong" than any other model. Of course - it' can't be any other way. The only mechanism to determine the validity of a scientific model is to t...

I'm not sufficiently familiar with the very specific field of "Computer Complexity" and so don't approve of explanations that go beyond being able to explain here without a degree or a large digression into a course. It's hardly a large digression. It's a trivial intuition and a useful me...

I already looked at the literal architecture designs and KNOW that these are artificial.... I have no idea what you mean by 'artificial'. It solves 2048 Qubit NP-hard/NP-complete problems in O(1) e.g constant time. You can't DO that with a classical computer, no matter how you cool it. That's all t...

So while we may be able to simulate machines that act as though they are in superposition (quantum computation solves multiple problems simultaneously), we may not actually be able to make such a machine. Such machine can and has been made. https://www.dwavesys.com/quantum-computing They currently ...

I meant things like language, logic, mathematics, and the sciences. They certainly exist but have no material existence. Programming languages (which capture human intention and procedural knowledge in logic/mathematics) have a physical/material existence. If they didn't the internet wouldn't exist...

Is this something you accept as axiomatically true, or do have evidence to justify your claim of possibility/impossibility?

Computers are not capable of doing anything without a program. Neither are humans. Toddlers would die if they weren't programmed to breathe autonomously, cry when their needs aren't being met etc... But people can learn from experience, So can computers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learni...

What I think you need to is to follow your own advice and shut up. This post is out of your depth.

In the social sense, information is passed over between individuals. <Insert DNA innuendo here> Skepdick, you asshole, you are not contributing, you are just mezmerized by your own incredibly huge stupidity. You are spittifully stupid. You can't ignore the thing that belongs there, which is "i...

But on a serious note (and said with a lot of sarsasm) NOOOO WAAAAY!!!!

You mean like Information theory or something?
Otherwise known as THE Mathematical Theory of Communication

I cannot agree with that because I am not a physicalist and know that consciousness is not some kind of, "emegent," attribute. Would you agree that the brain is a physical entity though? So if the brain is physical, but consciousness is not - what kind of substance/medium might connect a ...
