Dear Jose, thank you for reading my essay an commenting on it. I respect your considerations, although i do not automatically share them.
Let me explain why i do not automatically share them.
I don't think that logics necessarily does require an explanation of the existence of 'the more potent conscious agent'. The reason is twofold. Firstly, if time and space are not fundamental, logics requires the assumption that there should be a realm beyond space and time. In your essay, you take space and time as fundamental. If true, then logics would require one to ask what created the 'more potent conscious agent' in time. But since your framework is causally closed hermetically, this question does not make sense, along with the assumption that a 'God' could be possible or would be needed as an explanation of all the questions that can be posed by conscious beings.
Secondly, whether or not space and time are fundamental, one has to presuppose certain assumptions to be given. In your essay, this is an enternally pulsating universe. In my opinion, logics does require an explanation of how an uncaused eternal universe shoule come into being, since the framework within your assumed universe deals explicitly only with physical causes and effects in time. Even if one assumes space and time as not fundamental, logic would require to explain how the abstract mechanisms came into being that facilitated space and time.
In the case of assuming 'God' to be existent and space and time are not fundamental (as i do), one is logically forced to assume that 'God' is an eternal fact (there would be no need to install a 'much more potent conscious agent' to explain what brought 'God' into existence, because God is considered by me as beyond physical time) same as you assume that a pulsating universe is an eternal fact, or some quantum physicists assume that the rules of quantum mechanics are an abstract eternal fact.
In ALL scenarios i mentioned, one thing surely remaines unexplained, namely how it can be that there exists logics at all to come to some meaningful - and sometimes even true - conclusions about the world. By meaningful, i also mean that logics is able to facilitate consistent relationships at all, independent of wether they meet reality at all or not. Additionally, in ALL scenarios i mentioned, the possible assumptions or conclusions cannot be proven or falsified rigourosly. All our tools, including logics, are not sufficient to enable the provability of such assumptions.
In a strictly deterministic, physically closed universe, healing is a matter of certain physical properties interacting with each other according to some (mathematical) governing laws. Beliefs would have no causal powers. But i see no logical reason to believe the possibility that physicalism is all there is.
