In general, I don’t think it is a sufficient test for the meaningfulness of a property to say “I can imagine a universe which has/lacks this property, unlike our universe, therefore it is meaningful.”
I can’t imagine a universe without mathematics, yet I think mathematics is meaningful. Doesn’t this mean the test is not sufficient to determine the meaningfulness of a property?
Is there some established thinking on alternate universes without mathematics? My failure to imagine such universes is hardly conclusive.
Um, mathematics.

Sorry, misread what you wrote in the grand parent. I agree with you.
