Cosmic Coincidences: Another Explanation

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new foundational framework where relations are primitive, develops a concept of a unique, actual possible world with necessary existence, and explains cosmic coincidences through this philosophical lens.

Contribution

It introduces a novel foundation of mathematics based on primitive relations and links it to a metaphysical explanation of cosmic coincidences via possible worlds.

Findings

At least one possible world is actual, and at most one is.

The actual world is the 'best' possible world, aligning with Leibniz's philosophy.

The actual world exists necessarily due to its highest relation.

Abstract

Arising out of an attempt at a new foundations of mathematics, in which relations are more primitive than sets, and out of the theoretical physicists' concept of underlying causes of empirical phenomena, the idea of a purely mathematical possible world (of underlying causes) is developed. It is shown that at least one, and at most one, possible world is actual, and that the one that is actual is the best (as in the philosophy of Leibniz), and therefore requires the cosmic coincidences to exist. This best is actual necessarily because of having a higher level top relation than any other possible world, and because of this top relation possessing the property of intrinsic necessary existence.
