Proof Mind is Fundamental and Matter Doesn't Exist

Something is there.  But not the bridge AS you perceive it.

The bridge as you perceive it is a collection of supervenient properties which we filter and perceive as ideas, I'd say.  But what is really, really there? Nothin', so far as we can tell, except some math.  And if ANYTHING counts as an idea and not a physical thing, I'd argue numbers fit the bill.
