How might Berkeley's idealism relate to digital reality?
Consider our modern digital worlds. These are not material in the traditional sense, yet they possess a distinct reality and structure. They are comprised of information, code, and the digital representations of objects—essentially, ideas. If these digital constructs have no existence independent of being processed, displayed, and interacted with by minds or computational systems (which themselves are governed by principles accessible to minds), does this not echo my assertion that 'esse est percipi'?
