I claim that I exist, and that I am now going to type the next words of my response. Both of those certainly look true. As for whether these beliefs are provable, I do not particularly care; instead, I invoke the nameless:
Every step of your reasoning must cut through to the correct answer in the same movement. More than anything, you must think of carrying your map through to reflecting the territory.
My black-box functions yield a statement “I exist” as true or very probable, and they are also correct in that.
After all, If I exist, I do not want to deny my existence. If I don’t exist… well let’s go with the litany anyways… I want to accept I don’t exist. Let me not be attached to beliefs I may not want.

If you deny your existence… and you dont exist… AHA! Well then we have a complete system. Which is impossible.
But since nobody is reading the paper fully, and everyone makes lound mouth assumptions what I wan’t to show with EN...
The G-Zombie, is not the P-Zombie argument, but a far more abstract formulation. But these idiots dont get it.
