As we build a computer smaller, it becomes increasingly difficult to be
certain that it exists in its designed form because of the HUP. As we reach
the molecular level, the computer becomes "fuzzy" in shape and exists partly
as indeterminate wave functions. In a sense, it is both "here" in the
classical world and "there" in the possible world.

So what I'm saying is, this is how organic minds work; some functioning part
of them exists continually in this state, thereby enabling subjective
experience. The system doesn't disintegrate because either an evolved
mechanism of error detection/correction exists alongside, or the "fuzzy"
parts do not negate system integrity (e.g., a single loose atom caged by a
much larger protein).
