I’m still not very sure of where the paradox is supposed to be for the materialist. Is the paradox supposed to be something like that the materialist accepts that consciousness is material, and that mathematical structures are not material?

Either put left, right as absolute (like the following) and leave middle in the flex, or do the opposite. One may decide which option to use based on whether the centre or the left/right is more semantically important in the layout. We
