Chairs and people are also mathematical objects, just really
complex ones with a large information content. This is the

mathematical.
No, it's a necessary conclusion of anyone who cannot distinguish a
description from the thing described.
Brent,
Where to will you place 'description' in the physicalism? Is this
just some excitation of natural neural nets or something else?
The description is in Platonia.
The description exists in the mind of some subject which might exist
in some "Platonia", but I am not even sure this can make sense in the
arithmetical Platonia of comp, where the subject comes *only* from the
internal view of Platonia, and this one does not belong in any sense
to Platonia, only in the 1pov-consciousness.
