[QUOTE="Kaligula, post: 1248150, member: 9585"] There is a useful notion of [i]'ontological commitment[/i]' in philosophy. What you are trying to imagine is the world without ontological commitment. It may be the Platonic shadow in the cave, simulation, illusion, but not the world itself. The world [i]must[/i] be, not [i]can[/i] be. If you are decribing something that just [i]can[/i] be, it is not the world. Platonic realm of ideas maybe? [/QUOTE]
