Yes, I was unintentionally implicitly assuming that this universe is a mathematical structure. (OTOH, ISTM that this is a somewhat standard assumption on LW, e.g. Solomonoff induction wouldn’t make that much sense without it.)
Perhaps. But the connotations of saying that something exists in an abstract, mathematical sense tend to run counter to that.
