including the programmer in the system being modeled. Did von Neumann do
that?? It is the same argument as that for Goedellian incompleteness,
that completeness can only be achieved by including the mathematician.
There is another alternative:
that the machine is the programmer/mathematician.
(that the hardware is the software).
This is the internal qualitative criteria that makes
the Rosenean 'natural universe' real - and operantly so.
It is the essential first-qualia of the universe - depicted
in my Integrity Paradigm.
