When I saw the title of this post and your name I was hoping to read something that would challenge my beliefs about quantum physics or the hard problem of consciousness. Instead I learned three unflattering hypotheses for why people disagree with you.
By the way, I don’t know what I think about Emile’s comment, but I don’t think it’s worth making a fuss over, as it was a response to smk’s question which was basically, “How many elementary tensors make up a nonelementary tensor? Btw I don’t know math.”
But you and your whole observed reality are being identified with an elementary tensor here. If the answer to the question “How many elementary tensors make up a nonelementary tensor?” is “undefined, there is no answer, it depends on definition”, then we have just proved that the world isn’t an elementary tensor, because the existence of “you and your whole observed reality” is not just a matter of definition.
