    It is not the case that Feasibility is a semantic, resource-sensitive notion tied to actual physical computation, not merely a structural property of definitional schemes.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Feasibility as structural property holds across all possible physical substrates; resource constraints are implementation details.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Distinguishing feasible from infeasible problems requires complexity-theoretic properties independent of specific physical instantiation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Resource sensitivity makes feasibility radically context-dependent; science needs stable, substrate-independent definitions of computability.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Turing machines can compute any algorithm, yet physical computers cannot; feasibility must account for real resource constraints.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A problem solvable in principle but requiring more energy than exists is practically infeasible, not just theoretically hard.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Semantics concerns what expressions mean in actual contexts; feasibility is meaningless divorced from computational reality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
