Hi Clark, you wrote: "So depending upon what one means by structure you’d have that in the third universe."
It seems to me that your remark here would be true if all structures are mind (or mentality)-dependent. But I believe that the astrophysical evidence we have suggests that there were structures in the Universe that existed even before we appeared on this planet and will continue to exist long after we are gone following the extinction of the the sun. All the best.
