Re: Contra Step 8 of UDA

I admire you, Stephen, for writing with such ease about Gödel etc. - in my
agnosticism I would say:
"many' MAY refer to a wider cumulative complexity of similar coomplexities
(like the machine Bruno would call "us") and I never tried to identify
myself (us? humans?) for Bruno's view).
Since I do not stand on the restricted arithmetic base-line, I feel
comfortable NOT to count the 'many'.
--------------------
*To: 'plurality':* I do not take a "mapping" fundamental. I feel that would
be restrictive into a sectional view.

*Physical reality *is similar. Since I cannot exceed my own domain(s) I
have no way to identify "reality". Bruno's restriction helps.
