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.
Not necessarily. I could also define it as including all conscious experience.

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).
