The third hypothesis is known as the mind-body hypothesis and postulates that the body and the mind, more specifically the consciousness are separate. The brain is part of the body and the mind is separate from the brain the body resides in the physical world while the mind exists outside of space-time. …show more content…
Now from here Chalmers claim is that the metaphysics hypothesis is equivalent to the matrix hypothesis, based on the movie and essays written about the theory of the matrix. In other words they imply each other the metaphysics hypothesis just states that from the mind and body, computational and creation theory hypotheses it should follow that our cognitive brain system that receive input and send output signals to a computer system outside of our simulation or universe. From the work produced in physics we know fundamentally that power of computation comes from within the universe not from outside of it and that we being in a simulation is unlikely. Also we have no idea if the computational process if the underlying fundamental process, as it is still only speculation that the computational process is indeed underlying the microphysical process. This theory is good as it allows the reader to paint a different picture as to how the metaphysics of the universe could be, and further what could be. I accept for now the matrix as metaphysics may be the best theory for metaphysics in relation to our current technology and understanding in relation to computation inside our own universe. If the theory is true this means that information itself exists in abstract form and information exists whether we are here or not. This theory supports my own personal belief that if one can’t imagine it then it can’t be
