Hi Godfrey

The "I" that I consider consists of a logical system that defines and
coincides with the physical system that the "I" inhabits. Thus the world
(the slice of the plenitude that we can observe) is anthropically
constrained by the "I."

A first consequence is that physics is perfectly rational and
understandable since it matches the "I." (This is a response to
Einstein's question of why is the world subject to rational analysis)

A second consequence is that your logical system is the same as mine, -
we share the same "I," - hence your world is the same as mine - we share
the same world or perspective of the plenitude. Therefore, you and me
appear to share an objective reality.

Objective reality is an illusion that disappears when observers differ
in their frame of reference. In this particular case, it does not exist
when observers operate according to different but entirely consistent
fundamental logics. In fact, such observers would have a lot of
difficulty communicating since their worlds would be different slices of
the plenitude.
