And so on, a beautiful essay I would mostly agree with
if I hadn't asked the above question.
I do not expand into the "if not" (if 'reality'
(whatever it is) is NOT part of mathematical reality
(whatever THAT may be, any one of the two subsytems of
the other).
I just asked to 'verify' Bruno, the ideas, you, me,
beyond a solipstick (OOPS wrong spelling) imagination.
Once you are WITHIN my solipsism, you can say anything
you are still in it. Iimagine UDA, the possible or not
computer programs, etc. I asked how can such a craze
be broken?
(Not circularly, from inside the craze - of course).
So my question stands in spite of your brilliant
reply.
