Re: Lucas Kruijswijk @ http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2010-April/014689.html A followup to your last suggestion: Any form of realism attributes a measure of "independence" to the realities in question, whether they be physical objects, mathematical objects, or other minds. In mathematics, "independent" means something like "orthogonal" or "uncorrelated", not absolutely disconnected, mutually exclusive, or totally separated, and I think this is very suggestive for the forms of independence worth having in this context.
