Comment on Framing Consciousness

I'm just exploring what would logically follow from consciousness being Turing-simulable, and what would follow if not.

I see. It's been a long time since I critically examined the relationship between what is true in a Turing simulation is what is true in reality ... but I'm beginning to remember what those questions were about. (Is reality discrete? Countable? etc.) If you just assume that reality is a Turing simulation for all intents and purposes, like I do most of the time, then the discussion didn't make sense.
