I can accept that. "Nature", with comp, is given by
the first person plural.

That is why I limit "third person" to the provable (by a sound machine
for exemple) arithmetical propositions.

I consider that "19 is prime" is an objective (third person) proposition.

But of course, nature and the whole plenitude are first person creation.

Our problem in this list is to explain that is an transparent scientific
way.
