What has that to do with any causal powers of mathematical truth?
If you what your causal graph to have the property I quoted here, you need to add nodes for mathematical truths.
Two people can arrive at the same solution to a crossword, but that does not mean there is a Cruciverbial Truth that has causal powers.
Yes it does. In this case said truth even has a physical manifestation, i.e., as the crossword-writer's solution as it exists in some combination of his head and his notes which is causal to the form of the crossword the solver sees.
It only has a physical manifestation. Cruciverbial Truth only summarises what could have been arrived at by a massively fine-grained examinination of the crossword-solver's neurology. It doesn't have causal powers of its own. Its redundant in relation to physics.
