I don't think communication has anything to do with it. The rules are what they are. Whether I am able to understand them is not really relevant.

  Rules don't exist without consciousness assigning a value. Which is to say that consciousness arbitrarily defines truth from nothing. Rules are not what they are because a rule doesn't have any intrinsic property outside of imagination. It's dependent entirely on consensus and memory. Without communication, consciousness wouldn't be able to distribute rules. It'd be limited to one mind per set of rules. Communication allows imaginary network effects. Distributed protocol message passing, yay!

    The universe doesn’t exist when you die?

      The universe may or may not exist when one dies.
