It is easy to imagine a computer program that is both deterministic and wrong. Why not a person?

- shard972 12y agoBecause a computer program is only deterministic if you look at it in a snapshot view, a human within the context of a "snapshot" could also be deterministic I suppose. Or the other way to look at it, A computer program changes over it's lifespan and when you look at it from that perspective it is not deterministic.
- JackFr 12y agoWhen one describes a computer program as "wrong" it is within the context of what some other agent wants or expects it to do. As a purely physical process, it can never be wrong or right, it can just be.
- Houshalter 12y agoYou have defined "wrong" in an incredibly strange and useless way. 2+2=5 is "wrong" regardless what agent you are or what universe you exist in.
