Thoughts are broken down into a form compatible with storage ..our analogy is computer language. Re/ Decompilation is superfluous.. it's a mechanical process void of sentience.

If thoughts are decompiled during storage/transmission and recompiled during receipt then they have no real existence of their own. That the thought has to be transmitted via the decompilation/recompilation process and that that thought is (I hope) self-evidently more complicated than the thought both at the transmitter and at the receiver means that there MUST be information loss in the transcription process, information that must be filled in by the recipient and therefore the thought itself is not actually transmitted, an alternate version of the thought is developed that is original compared to the transmitter's thought.

This particular passenger can shape shift, sure. You're right to add that I think. The interpreter interprets given many variables, but not precisely so as possible with actual computers.

Mind/brain is not bus, a bus does not get altered by it's passengers whereas thoughts DO alter the brain/mind infrastructure i.e. the recipient brain/mind is altered by the received (recompiled) thought.

That thought cannot be transferred in anything but the decompiled state doesn't prove that thoughts are physical. Just that they are stored as a physical representation (as in a computer) and are compiled/ decompiled either end to place them into to cognitive processor: the brain.

Didn't say it did but it does further force you to justify your assertion that thoughts are in some way no-physical ... the available evidence strongly links them absolutely to brain/nerve infrastructure and you CANNOT simply claim that is not so without providing exceptionally good reason (extraordinary evidence) to show the lack of linkage given that Í and others have given very good reason why thought/mind IS inextricably linked to the mass of tissue we call the brain.

The bus, being the storage medium, the mode of transport, is simply storage. I paint a picture - thought of a kind is stored ready to transport to anyone looking at it.

The passenger & bus idea is a poor analogy for thoughts/ideas & mind/brain.
