That is why I said "epistemological contradiction". OK, I was implitly
putting some Occam Razor in the natural or observational science
epistemology.

Right. The UD exists like the number 194286 exists.

Yes. This is difficult, and it is made in the 8th step. To be precise
it is shown there that consciousness cannot be generated by the
physical activity. The 8th step proposes two ways to address this.
Either by Occam razor + the lobian interview on the
probabilities/credibilities, or more directly (and without Occam) by
the movie graph argument.
