I am trying to be bayesian in such complex questions. That means that I create a field of all possible hypethesis, and based on known evidence, corespondent field of probabilities of all hypothesis. Such approach will probably never result in one truth, that is in the situation where probability field is like (1,0,0,0,0) on field of (MUH, CUH, LUH, etc).
But we could gain knowledge about the topic without ever coming to one final truth. Creating more and more complex maps is an instrument to gain knowledge. I think that one approach which may work—is to create mathematical theory of qualia. If we do it, and we prove that qualia is a type of mathematical objects, we will get something like “MUH with qualia” as final theory.
The first thing in such theory should be idea that qualia can’t depend on anything. Everything which explains red must be red. So they are like mathematical axioms. It also explain their ability to be self-born. So it explains how universe appear from nothing, but don’t explain orderness of observations.
The second thing we have to do is to explain, how qualia are able to merge between themselves into experiences. We can’t just say that there is sets of different qialia, as it would result into something like “qualia Bolzmann brains” dominations.
And even if we could explain how they are able to merge, we have to return to normality and explain how it all results in the observable universe with its QM laws. This could be most difficult part of all construction. (One way to start here is to see that there is direct connection between qualia and anthropic principle, and more, if we know types of qualia a being has, we could reconstruct types of its observations and laws of the universe he lives. E.g. if he has 2 dimensional color qualia he probably lives in 3 dimensional universe with some form of radiation.)
All I said above is just sketch of a theory which I hope to create some day, but which doesn’t have high priority now.
There’s a guy named Donald D. Hoffman whom I saw on YouTube; unlike you, he is sort of “consciousness monist” (if I understand him correctly), that is, he claims that the most basic part of reality is consciousness and, in fact, reality is a network of relations between these basic particles.
I guess that if you can find some sort of an identity between this basic particle and a mathematical object we get your idea (If I understand your ideas correctly).
I also sort of remember him claiming that he could deduce the rules of quantum mechanics, but I’m not 100% sure.
Thanks for lead. I think that I could be “conscious monist” after all, but I prefer not to use term consciousness, and use “qualia” as it is better defined.

You might want to check his ideas out.
