From one of Tegmark's pop sci papers:
Trivialism induces a mathematical structure, and so is contained in the level IV multiverse. I think there's some meta-level confusion in the rest of the first part of your comment.
It's not clear to me how this claim affects the argument. Asserting the negation of the converse of (c) doesn't imply anything about (c).
The argument is not central to the dissertation. He reports it from a trivialist to establish the existence of at least one trivialist.
