Indistinguishable Kinds of Existence

Consider




Hypothesis 1: the universe is ultimately pure mathematical structure



If the hypothesis is right, what kind of universe results from the mathematical structure



(1) the existence of this mathematical theory is logically inevitable

?



The resulting universe exists, relative to itself.

And this relative existence is a kind of absolute existence.

If we were it, we would expect our existence to be logically inevitable, and that notion of existence would be indistinguishable from our current notion of actual existence.

Now if the actual universe could be said to be that mathematical structure, we could be said to have a rational explanation for existence.



A predicate calculus that asserts its own existence would appear to exist to itself, and that notion of existence would be indistinguishable from our current notion of actual existence.
