How does the driver software in the printer make the paper move? The software is a pattern of 1s and 0s the microcontroller is following, that directs when various signals turn on and off. Some of those signals are involved in making the program work, copying bits here and there inside it. Others turn motors on and off. But the signals are all exactly the same—just electric currents in transistors. Literally, literally the only difference is whether they connect back into the microcontroller, or out to the motor.
How come you imagine blue when you read "blue", but downvote me when you read this? Some nerves connect back to other nerves, some connect to muscles. It is all just nerves pinging. Absolutely nothing except nerves pinging, modulated this way and that in a bath of hormones. Anything else is failed imagination.
But you can understand it if you don't deliberately confuse yourself.
And, yet, your refutation is:
>Given deeper thought, one will find that it's a much more complicated problem to model for. Intuition starts to get fuzzy and practicality goes out the window when factoring in physical constraints.
I think one of these is deliberately vague and hand-wavish just to sound sophisticated. The one that's arguing for some mystical mind-body duality and "deeper thought".
Given deeper thought, one will find that it's a much more complicated problem to model for. Intuition starts to get fuzzy and practicality goes out the window when factoring in physical constraints.
It's quite an interesting interaction and there's much to look into the mind-body "problem" and causality. There's a few different models from various bodies of thought.
