Either you answer yes, or no to that question. If you answer yes, I
don't see how you can escape mathematical realism.
Confusing "real" and "true" again.
Only because you define real by physically real.
If not you play with the word, as the proposition "10^(10^(10^100))th
decimal digit of pi is 9" is an arithmetical proposition, say P(9),
and it entails logically that ExP(x), that is there is a number, 9,
which is the 10^(10^(10^100))th decimal digit of pi.
But you have never told us what real means to you, so we can't be sure
about what you are saying here. It looks like hand-waving to me, just
to refuse a precise TOE, the only one which says something testable on
the mind-body problem (as far as I know).
