In physics (see 1. and 2. above), when the physicist consciously distinguishes the symbols for the equations and numbers on the page or screen, the physicist is standing in for, or playing the part of, the necessary foundation-level consciousness aspect of the world that can distinguish its own current, on-the-spot categories and numbers (that apply to the categories) from other categories and numbers.
Similarly, when the physicist freely moves and changes the symbols for the otherwise completely static equations and numbers on the page or screen, the physicist is standing in for, or playing the part of, the necessary foundation-level aspect of the world that moves its own numbers (that apply to the categories).
These necessary aspects of the world that can distinguish what is currently true, and that can move, analyse and collate/ combine, can be very simply represented by the following type of logical connective symbols (e.g. in computer programs): IF, AND, OR, IS TRUE, and THEN.
So, there necessarily exists a logical connective aspect of the world, that can be represented by logical connective symbols, as well as the necessary aspects of the world that are represented by symbols for categories, equations, and numbers.
The simplicity of the “AND” logical connective, contrasts with the very awkward “Combination Problem” mathematical overlapping proposed in the video, which includes the very awkward:
“We can have sharing of information between microscopic observers, and therefore we are allowed to use dynamical processes to create a unified perspective via the sharing of relative facts. We can imagine that over time the micro-observers interact, cross perspective links form between them, and eventually a higher-level perspective arises through this sharing of information, creating a unified perspective” (46:00 of 1:06:19)
and the very awkward:
“… the community of human observers to actually be made up of lots of different overlapping observers”. (52:00 of 1:06:19)
