Which is very strong evidence for physical matter. "Primitive" is just
a theological attribute that forbids looking deeper. So of course
physicists don't claim evidence for "primitive" matter.
it is its goal, but to give an account of the experience, they need to
identify the first person with its brain, and that requires special
infinities.
On the contrary, mechanism is the only theory that I know of which
explain both the first person experience, and the appearance of a
material reality, and this without anymore ontological commitment than
the belief that equation like x + 4 = 9 admits solutions, and also
that x = 1, say, is *not* a solution. Physics is “platonism” (realist)
in that sense, but can only link brain and mind by using actual
infinities in the mind and in the brain, leading to the assumption
that Mechanism has to be wrong (but then darwinism, molecular biology,
genetics, even current formulation of physics are all wrong).
But these "infinities" are only required because you assume mathematical
realism as primary.
