why should the substrate matter? do you support one of the quantum
consciousness theories...? incidentally, i read, in _science news_ about a
theory of quantum consciousness that was unaffected by tegmark's

seems to be missing from the library shelves here, and to get to the
tegmark article online requires a paid subscription. pointers, anybody?
