A Cartesian Argument for Reductive Metaphysical Idealism( OPT)

 ...Cartesian argument for analytic reductive metaphysical idealism...John konnor...


1) we can deny the concrete existence of the physical ( emergent spacetime)


2) if we can deny the concrete existence of the physical ( emergent spacetime), then consciousness is fundamental


3) consciousness is fundamental (1,2 MP)


4) if consciousness is fundamental we are minds experiencing the effects of the self apprehension of the prior mind


5)  we are minds experiencing the effects of the self apprehension of the prior mind (3,4 MP)


6) if we are minds experiencing the effects of the self apprehension of the prior mind , then reductive metaphysical idealism is the case


7) reductive metaphysical idealism is the case(5,6 MP)


Brief defense:


1) the immersive matrix from which entanglement produces physical phenomenal experience must be an exotic non semiotically neutral organizational and intentional substance, due to the computational aspect of spacetime( integrated information)


2) since we cannot deny our conscious experience from Leibniz identity, mind must be fundamental since it cannot emerge from the physical. There must be prior mind to procure semantically determinate syntax from which any physical universe can emerge.
