Hi Stephen P. King
How is the agreement of many minds known if they are all solipsists ?
Hi Roger,
The agreement is known by the appearance of a common world. It is
the manifestation of their "mutual truth".

Hi Stephen P. King
But many minds are in agreement that God exists, so that must be
true ?
Hi Roger,
In my proposed definitions, "must" only follows if and only if
there is no accessible possible world where a contraindication of
the agreement occurs. Put more simply, a statement is true iff
there is no knowable contradiction of the statement. The possible
existence of an unknowable contradiction to the truth of a
statement acts to support the idea of fallibility.
And must unicorns exist because I believe that they do ?
The existence or non-existence is not contingent on anything,
especially the belief of one person. Your question should be
phrased as: "Must unicorns be a physical creature because of my
belief in such?" The answer might be "yes" is there is some means
by which your belief has the causal power to generate a physical
being.
