I guess you mean that there is no universal dovetailer (UD) out there. Who ever said that? I just say that the UD exists in the sense that you can prove its existence in a tiny weak part of Arithmetic. > > wihout a UDA there are no generated minds, without generated minds > there is no illusory matter. Sure. But the UD exists, like prime number exists. > At best you have an alternative to > materalism-realism, > not a disproof of it. Well, then there should be a number between 1 and 8, or 0 and 8 where you miss the step. Apparently it is the 0 step, given that you still don't understand that my hypothesis is just classical digital mechanism. Classical means I accept the excluded third principle. I think the confusion comes from the fact that I obtain platonist (in Plato or Plotinus sense) conclusions. But the hypotheses are 100% neutral or agnostic on this point. Like in Paris and Brussels you still confuse the conclusion (admittedly startling) and the hypothesis.
