I'm interested in building an AI inside this structure with us. There may be a relationship between this AI and platonia in the same way (whatever way that is) our perceptions may make use of it.

The key to it is the messy, smelly meat called brain material, not considerations of platonic realms or postulated computations therein. It may be that what we find will be generalised later into COMP and other systems of abstraction, but that will change nothing for me trying to build an AI with the reality we inhabit. Like I said above...the structure built us on its own...and didnt need a maths book to do it..because it literally is the maths...
