Dear Saibal:

Could you explain the paradox you've created by saying, "In the film Nash was closely
acquainted to persons that *didn't realy exist*." and "One could argue that the persons that Nash was seeing in fact did exist *(in
our universe)*, precisely because Nash's brain was simulating them."

What is the definition of  "really"? What makes something "exist in our universe" if it only "really" exits in somebody's mind?

One could say that the brain of some schizophrenic persons simulate other
persons. I don't know if some of you have seen the film 'A Beautiful mind'
about the life of mathematician Nash. In the film Nash was closely
acquainted to persons that didn't realy exist. Only much later when he was
treated for his condition did he realize that some of his close friends
didn't really exist.

One could argue that the persons that Nash was seeing in fact did exist (in
our universe), precisely because Nash's brain was simulating them.
