What sorts of facts might you mean? "2 + 2 = 4"? "This universe is all that physically exists"? Conservation of energy? Moral or theological assertions?
I guess I am mostly referring to mathematical facts. Not sure about the rest. For example 2 + 2 would always equal 4, regardless of whether the world/all matter ceases to exist.
To the best of my ability to reason about this, logic does. Whether it's dependent on my ability to reason about it, is beyond my ability to reason about.
Fully agree. Thanks
It's impossible for things to exist in the manner in which your question implies that they might.
Why?
If no consciousness existed, who or what would judge whether a statement was a fact?
I suppose that doesn't matter. 2 + 2 = 4 whether there are any observers/consciousness or not - right?
To encode NOT something takes one more bit than encoding something.
