Actual Infinities

[I_am_not_mafia]

Isn't there a third possibility - that the objects (the world) indeed exist outside of the mind, but are not in their nature the same as the representations of them in our minds -  e.g. they may inspire logic and reason, because evolutionarily, logic and reason are successful strategies for interacting with them - but that does not mean that they themselves possess some sort of exact templates for logic and reason?

Exactly. What we perceive in our brains isn't what is out there. Signals coming from receptors in the eye are reduced in size, extrapolated and compressed (for want of better words) through the different stages of the visual cortex so they can be carried by relatively few axons. This is then passed to the thalamus which then compares it to what we have observed before and builds up a picture.

But if you're going to speculate that an external object can "possess some sort of exact templates for logic and reason" then you need to figure out how this is possible the mechanism by which this occurs. The only features that I can think of is complexity and order.
