I take the view that physical existence is in some sense a 'part' of
mathematics. However physical properties by themselves aren't
mathematical properties. Which properties do we call 'physical'?
There appear to be three main classes of properties that we interpret
as 'physical': *spatial*

Consider a mathematical substructure as a rational decision maker. It seems
to me that making a decision ideally would consist of the following steps:

considering Wei's Q#1 and 2 the thought occurred to me
(being almost a virgin in thinking in mathematical
constructs) that this looks as an even harder problem
than Chalmers's famous neurological hard problem.
For me, at least.

What makes you say stand outside the structure? I'd say instead that I am
