I said explicitly that "exist" means to be in the ontology of some

Bruno's shown how the physical world is part of the same model that
includes the integers.
I don't think so. He has shown that computation with the integers is
very rich and if you assume your thoughts are just instances of
digital computation then the appearance of the physical world can be
explained in terms of them.
I don't show this. I show that if we assume mechanism, then we have to
explained the physical world in term of integers/combinators/universal
machine. I submit a problem. In fact I show that with mechanism, the
mind-body problem becomes an arithmetical body problem. The interview
of the machine gives hints of the solution.

But this is a rather weak sense of 'explain', since it can also
explain completely different worlds.
