>It is "created" because there is no guarantee that our efforts correspond to reality. In that sense we are just playing in the sandbox of what we can conceive.
But doesn't this dance kinda near the notion that I am a brain in a vat and none of you exist (read this question with me as the speaker or with yourself as the speaker)?
I would say our brains do have limits. I can't well envision a 4D object. But once we reduce things down to simple logical axioms and constructs, these exist as much as anything can be said to exist. Even if I was a simulation that didn't even have a brain, much less eyes, the concepts I come up with would exist more than the flesh I incorrectly thought I had.
