    Max Tegmark and the others work well on their road of reasoning for the foundamental nature of the reality, the consciousness, the AI, the maths structures and that permits to reach questions in philosophy also. I consider a different general philosophical logic than this mathematical universe hypothesis like if the universe is a pure mathematical structure , that implies intriguing questions about the multiverse with different mathematical parameters, the link with the works of Anthony Aguirre so is relevant. It is like a platonist vue. If we have different levels in the multiverse where we have the observable universe, or after beyond the inflation or beyond our quantum mechanics implying the many worlds, and all the other possibilities due to the mathematical structures, it creates an ocean even infinite of possibilities, that permit the creativity also and confusions due the enormous complexity .But it is intriguing.

    The integrated information theory and links wit, h AI and consciousness also are intriguing , if the consciousness is the capacity to integrate information with the laws of physics ,so this consciousness is an emergent phenomena due to these inegrated informations, Now it is of course a philosophical point of vue and so the brains are essential , there are probably relevant correlations to do with the works of Pnerose and Hameroff. There are probably also roads to consider with different possibilities in trying to consider this integrated information theory more the mathematical universe and in adding the pantheism and panpsychism, maybe the key is there , a kind of link between all these general philosophical ideas.

    His concept so about the perceptronium like a substrate of conscious entity is relevant to analyse in details in considering many possibilities with the maths, physics and philosophy. That intrigues me a lot this for an AI becoming conscious, and it create ethic questions.

    Indeed the brains, the machines, the language if we link all this can be inmproved and reach levels intriguing, and it is there that this ethic becomes a parameter important to consider at my humble opinion. Because if we success to create the language concrete processing for these machines and that the consciousness is reached and that this level of intelligence surpass the human cognition , so philosophically and ethically it is there the big question to consider. If Tegmark is right about his mathematical universe and this integrated information theory, that becomes a very important ethical problem for the UN and high spheres of power to consider, Can we have an AI system conscious surpassing the human cognition level and its values, can this AI create a disaster or can this AI help for a general better global world. Are the humans more important than the other species on this earth and are our values and global system more important and correct for the earth and its evolutive biological system, it must be considered .

    Can we check this AI, can we align it with our global system and human values, it is the question, it can be very powerfull this conscious AI and can take so choices , and maybe we are not more important than a bee for this AI and it can even conclude that the humans are the problem of this earth destroying the ecology, the natural evolution of the earth, this and that. It can also instantaneously analyses the psychology ogf humans and we know that it exists good humans and others totally odd and crazzy and that this internet give the informations about this pscyhology, so it is more than intriguing.

    Philosophically also if the universe is more than just a mathematical universe and that we have a kind of pantheism and an infinite eternal consiousness creating like in my theory this universe and the evolution ,It is this the spherisation in my theory, the evolution,
    That intrigues me in all the cases this integrated information theory and AI and mathematical universe and if the complexity of mathematical structures and matter permit this consciousness experiencing informations process, because if the universe is a computational system , so we can indeed go farer . But without this ethical responsability , it is intriguing and can create problems that we shall not be able to check ,
