So far, this is all you've been able to unambiguously articulate: - only my consciousness exists - other consciousnesses exist - the world appears the way it does due to the interaction of consciousnesses
As you have no way to formalize "interaction of consciousnesses", you're unable to use it to actually explain anything. A moment's thought will show you this is indistinguishable from: - only my consciousness exists - angels and demons exist - the world appears the way it does because that's what the angels and demons want me to experience Unless you can say what kind of fact you could discover that would invalidate your theory, it's a hard no for me.
