Hi Jason I have not contributed to the list for a while but your question interests me. I do not accept as primitive an independent mathematicalism/arithmetical realism. I think that math and logic are co-emergent with the consciousness of the observer. In addition physics is also co-emergent

2007-06-29 Thread Jason
I have seen two main justifications on this list for the everything ensemble, the first comes from information theory which says the information content of everything is zero (or close to zero). The other is mathematicalism/arithmatical realism which suggests mathematical truth exists independand
