2. If this world is not a simulation/program, then it's not been established that it's intentional. Your hypotheticals don't support your OP argument; rather your argument depends on such hypotheticals in order for the conclusion to be true.
Ultimately, however, it's not clear that your argument is even valid.
1) assigning meaning and values requires intention, such as in my examples of a novel, and computer program. (Hence why they’re often referred to as mental properties)!
Do you agree?
Yes.
By the way, what do you mean when you say reality is intentional? I am interpreting it as meaning reality is intended/designed/authored per your conclusion wording. Is this interpretation correct? Just want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding the argument.
