Abstract
An analysis of the physical implications of abstractness reveals the reality of three interconnected modes of existence: abstract, virtual and concrete. This triple-aspect monism clarifies the ontological status of subatomic quantum particles. It also provides a non-spooky solution to the weirdness of quantum physics and a new outlook for the mind-body problem. The ontological implications are profound for both physics and philosophy.
Highlights
A recent analysis of the properties of infinity (Côté, 2013) led to the conclusions that 1) infinity is abstract and real, 2) concrete space-time is finite, 3) mathematical Platonism is a logical necessity, and 4) quantum particles lie at the interface between the abstract and concrete aspects of reality
This should help clarify the ontological status of subatomic quantum particles and shed some light on the closely related mind-body duality problem

Summary
A recent analysis of the properties of infinity (Côté, 2013) led to the conclusions that 1) infinity is abstract and real, 2) concrete space-time is finite, 3) mathematical Platonism is a logical necessity, and 4) quantum particles lie at the interface between the abstract and concrete aspects of reality. I intend to expand these conclusions with an analysis of the properties of abstractness. This should help clarify the ontological status of subatomic quantum particles and shed some light on the closely related mind-body duality problem
