To do physics, or just to live, that is enough of course. Being a phenomenological reality does not make it unreal, or the dentist would not use anaesthetics, and the computationalist would not send mails, nor even leave his bed. But in (serious) metaphysics we want explain the phenomenologies from the assumed ontology. In greek theology, god exists by definition, and the questions are: is god a material reality or is it something else. Should we try to explain Mind from Matter? From Matter alone? from matter + something else? or should we tray to explain Matter appearance from a theory of Mind? From mathematics? What I did was to provide a test for this, and the result obtained is twofold: 1) if Indexical Mechanism is correct then the theory of both mind and matter is very elementary arithmetic, or anything Turing-equivalent to very elementary arithmetic. Physics has to be reduced to number psychology/theology. 2) The logic of the observable extracted from very elementary arithmetic in the way prescribed by “1)” is a quantum logic (actually more than one), and no empirical discrepancies have been found yet.
