That's not clear at all. The mind-as-software concept is one way it may
possibly be, but that's actually a fairly radical view. It's something I'm
agnostic about until we've got further information. In the meantime, this is
such an important point that I think we'd better give the benefit of the
doubt. And even if mind-as-software thing is accurate, there's still
definitely a distinction -- I didn't invent my mind; I just have it.
