=== Physicalism
It is likely that physics, as implemented by the [[universe]], can be simulated to arbitrary precision on a [[computer]]. This includes the parts of physics which conscious beings use. If consciousness is determined by physical hardware, then that physics can thus be simulated on a computer and will behave identically (or at least up to thermal noise limits, with enough simulation precision) to the physical version. Either this is not possible - physics is not computable - or consciousness is [[epiphenomenal]], which is bad, or consciousness is generated by computation of some form.
