Not beyond what Existence allows. A mind can't suddenly think of things that are hypothetically impossible. Nor can it ever become infinite from a non-infinite state.
They dictate the limit of what can be conceived, so also of "existence". Which is a concept, right? Im just trying to throw the obvious wrench in the wheel, the solipsist argument, see if you can deal with it.
Solipsism is blatantly absurd. It implies that you can have something go in and out of Existence. It implies a finite Existence. It has no place in reason.
I agree that you just proved you cant understand existence except as a mental concept!
Every meaningful thing is a mental concept. Every meaningful theory consists of meaningful statements and observations. No word, concept, story, theory or field of study can be meaningful if it contains paradoxes. Existence being finite is paradoxical. You can't understand Existence as being finite. It's not just limited to the mind, because limiting Existence to the mind (solipsism) is absurd. The problem of something coming from nothing cannot be allowed any place in any theory as it is meaningless/absurd.
