UK, you keep asking questions, "what is coding?", "human brains compute, don't they?", "what's physical information", etc.Arising_uk wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2019 9:31 pmThen he's done a reasonable job as an autodidact.Atla wrote:He's just making the whole thing up to deceive people, he never formally studied computer sciences. ...What's physical information?He doesn't understand the difference between physical and Shannon information, ...And by 'bits' you mean?

So you lack the necessary academic background in computing to understand what Atla sees. This is no reflection on your abilities, only on your education in computer science.
You ask "what is this and how does Logic demonstrate he does not understand or conceptualize it well". This is a question that you'd best understand if you took an undergrad course in computer science. To be honest, I don't know what Shannon is, and I do have a degree in computer science.
So... your questions are honest, and they seem reasonable, but to answer them requires a much more in-depth knowledge into computing than to show here in a few words written for dilettantes (non-professionals) to describe properly where and how Logic's ignorance shines through.
