Statement
Allowing any computable translation between implementations makes every structure implement every other, as the Putnam and Searle triviality arguments claim, under the conditions Chalmers's reply identifies.
Source
Putnam 1988, Representation and Reality, appendix (every ordinary open system implements every finite automaton); Searle 1990, Is the Brain a Digital Computer?; Chalmers 1996, Does a Rock Implement Every Finite-State Automaton? (the reply, with its counterfactual and combinatorial-state conditions).
