I don't understand what could be "mathematically existence" ? What is "existence" ? RITSIAR is a point of view (of an observer)... If something exists, it exists... You're using "mathematical existence" as if it meant "no existence"... why bother using existence at all then ? >> > wihout a UDA there are no generated minds, without generated minds >> > there is no illusory matter. >> >> Sure.
