It's hard for me to know that 4 and 5 really mean since they are so abstract. I definitely don't endorse 1 or 2 and I'm pretty sure I don't endorse 4 either (integrating over uncertainty in what you meant). I'm uncertain about 3; it seems plausible but far from clear. I'm certainly not consequentialist and don't want to be, but maybe I would want to be in some utopian future. Again, I'm not really sure what you mean by 5, it seems almost tautological since everything is a mathematical object.
