So for Sean Carroll, reality is a mathematical entity: a wave function.
At least Thales believed in stuff (matter).
"Stuff" is sufficiently vague that the wave-function could qualify as
"stuff". The contentious question seems to be where conscious thoughts
fall in the ontology. Are they processes realized by stuff (Vic), or do
they exist in a separate Platonic real(Bruno), do they constitute a
separate realm(pt), do they constitute everything(Cosmin)?
