You are lucky. I see *appearance* of matter, but I don't see existing
primary matter. The existence of this one has to be postulated. But I
have already criticize your "non-definition" of primary matter. I find
that concept far more nebulous than consciousness for example, which
certainly exists as a receptacle of the appearance. I don't doubt about
those appearance.
