So in in that sense
we're never gonna have a physical situation in which a spatially infinite

language is slightly difficult to pin down.
I mean the short answer is yes, but I wanna hedge a little bit.
So
What people generally mean by strong emergence is some idea of a
Higher level physics.
That's not derivable even in principle, even with infinite computing power.
from um
The microscopic physics.
Uh the classic example of people who believe in the hard problem of consciousness.
Um
Yeah, th lots of philosophers and scientists who I think wrongly think consciousness is a fundamentally inexplicable phenomenon microphysically, they think consciousness is strongly emergent.
