Has any reflectorite read far enough in Roger Penrose's "Shadows of the
mind" to see whether Penrose has an answer to this objection? Or whether
Penrose is drifiting off into mysticism? I will get back to "Shadows"
eventually, but I put it aside after reading part 1 (all the Turing machine
arguments for why consciousness cannot be analyzed mechanistically) to pick
up something else, and I haven't got back to it yet. Now it's waiting at
least until I get a bit farther in Kauffman (which is proceeding nicely --
for a change)
