Why do you assume the physical universe is a manifestation?
The Mandelbrot set exists and contains self reference without any need for it to be graphed (a manifestation). Similarly the universe as we experience it may exist without any physical manifestation.

Physics is the equation, not a scribble of one on a dead tree.
- I don't think it can be taken for granted that math exists independent of consciousness to think of it.
- Even if math exists independent of time and consciousness, it need not have a physical manifestation (by your own logic). So why does a physical universe have to exist?
