>So when you say "describing" you don't actually mean "describing", you mean "running the simulation"

I mean absolutely nothing of the sort. What I am talking about is the ordinary use of the word "beach" in the ordinary grammar of the English language not its use in some game in which one attempts to translate ordinary terms with "scientific" propositions based a set of logical transformations which ignore the implications of context and connotation.

So long as one insists that the computer simulation is isomorphic to what it simulates, one is doomed to stay in the cave.

I found it to be quite useless to talk about the philosophy of mind to people on the internet. Either its a circle jerk because you already have the same oppinions, or you waste time talking about different things while calling each other retarded.
