论文摘要
我表明，如果精神状态是物理状态的功能，那么从某种意义上说，它们是非本地的。我认为，如果精神状态可以降低到大脑物理学，如果它们是综合经验，则这种非局部性意味着古典物理学还不够，尤其是计算学论文不存在。我通过思想实验说明了这一论点。非局部性的证明是简单明了的，但是结果是违反直觉的，因此我花了很大一部分文章讨论了可能的异议，替代方案和含义。我讨论了量子物理学允许这种非局部性的可能性。
I show that if mental states are function of physical states, then they are nonlocal, in a sense that will be explained. I argue that, if mental states are reducible to brain physics, and if they are integrated experiences, this nonlocality implies that Classical Physics is not enough, in particular the computationalist thesis does not hold. I illustrate the argument with a thought experiment. The proof of nonlocality is straightforward and general, but the result is counterintuitive, so I spend a large part of the article discussing possible objections, alternatives, and implications. I discuss the possibility that Quantum Physics allows this kind of nonlocality.
