I guess I could venture that it's the ontology of any TOE in which interactions are all 3p.

OK, thanks. So I would guess that it's equivalent to eliminativism, as I think it's called - the idea that consciousness is an illusion ("albeit a persistent one"). It does seem that way to me.
I don't think it implies eliminativism. There's still temperature even though we have statistical mechanics. I think there's far too much importance given to "what's fundamental" and it leads to calling everything else and illusion. I doubt that Bruno thinks arithmetic is an illusion just because what's fundamental is 0, S, +, and *. A correction to this kind of obsession with essence is why I like my virtuous circle of explanation.

So how can all interactions be 3p? Maybe I misunderstood. It seems to me that consciousness implies there's 1p stuff going on?

We can hope that indeed!

Bruno
