Otherwise there could be an abstract mathematical object structurally identical to this world, but with no experiences in it, because it doesn’t exist. And papers that philosophers wrote about subjectivity wouldn’t prove they were conscious, because the papers would also ‘not exist’.
didn’t you just solve the mystery of the First Cause?
My take :
A universe is not just math, it also needs processing to run.
Existence is not in the software or the processor, but in the processing.
So long as that universe is not run/simulated, it’s philosophers do not exist, and what they would write is unknown.
Processing is what you need to embed a mathematical process into your universe, I agree, but that doesn’t necessarily imply that there is a Universal Processor in which our universe is embedded, or even that this hypothesis is meaningful. (For one, what universe does this processor live in? Processors bridge universes, in a sense—they don’t explain existence, but pass it off to the “larger” world.)
