Perhaps this paper would be of interest:
Deterministic multivalued logic scheme for information processing and

Speaking of logic, even though I am not starting from zero,and given
that it is not my full time profession, which papers/book should be
read, and are they available online?

A very good book is the one by Eliot Mendelson:

MENDELSON E., 1987, Introduction to Mathematical Logic, 3ème édition, Wadsworth &

brooks/Cole.

A good webpage is Podnieks page:

http://www.ltn.lv/~podnieks/

finally what is the difference between being awake and asleep from the
programmatic POV?

It is a like the difference between a solitaire video game, and a collective video game, where many computational histories cohere and glue together. It is still an open problem if that can exist with comp, note!

It is related to the difference between first person, and first person plural, which, in both QM and pure comp, are defined by "population" multiplication. If we are both annihilated and both reconstituted in washington and Moscow, we can share indeterminacies and even use a notion of Dutch Book probabilities.

Best,

Bruno
