The consequences of the materiality of the processing
The consequences of the materiality of the processing
The materiality of the processing, because it is a constraint of the Unique Human Observer Perspective (the same is true of Reason, see §04.00.02), has a number of consequences: - Humans can establish the existence of the immaterial processing of information only for themselves. - A specific (single) processing operation is carried out by a specific Being each time. (On co-processing, see §04.00.07.) - To be living is to be processing information in the sense of material, external processing (i.e. taking actions), and cannot be purely happening in the internal, contemplative sense. That is, to be living is to be processing information on datasets—in other words, life is an externally, materially assessable event. - No dataset can exist outside a state. This is true for Things, which get their names from and thus can be processed by Beings only in states (see §08.01.04), as well as for Beings themselves (humans constituting a specific case, for whom states are needed and to whom they are thus natural). - A processing operation, being material, is evidenceable, that is, it exists in the analogue and/or the digital world and it has a beginning (but not necessarily an end, see §04.00.06) that can be established.
