>Except in step 3 you verify success by seeing if it matches what we observe in experiments.

If the code was supposed to be the experiment, I've already explained why it'd be my blind spot. I see code, not anything that it's supposed to represent.

>It's more sophisticated than solipsism.

I didn't say "brownbagged", I said "repackaged", and I meant repackaged XXI century style, with value added etc. But then, solipsism can't be disproved.

>The mind is the name we give for complexity in absolute reality that is able to create a relative reality.

...the latter being the actual atoms etc? OK, one question here: does this relative reality, once created, exist independently from what created it?
