Ok. So its like a book, where information is archived. Still, unless you can
come up with a counter-example; this archiving is unconscious, unless a meat
and bone neuro system, such as myself; comprehends it. We imagine that we
can instill human level complexity into a metalic-electrical system (I hope
so too!) but we have yet no proper examples of this. Do we? Not at human
level anyway.
Thus, the integers themselves can not be conscious anymore then a plasma beam
can be conscious, or a brick, yes? More suscinctly, integers are 'things'
that (so far) only exist as such in a human nervous system (brain). Even
computers must 'view' integers as merely start-stop, on-off places. Therefore
can be considered as non-conscious by us meat things.

isomorphic meaning to be decipherable by intelligence
elsewhere in the universe.>>
