No. There was no spacetime for it to exist in. The virtual spacetime was booted up at that point. Physicality is that which is occurring IN the spacetime. The universe is that which is defined within the spacetime. You can not appeal to some PHYSICAL cause for the initiation of spacetime and that which is defined within it because that would require it to exist before it's own beginning, which is illogical.. The the cause of the physical and the natural must specifically NOT be physical or natural. It must be PRIOR to the physical/universe, but not in terms of of some universe related delta T sequence of processing cycles. The cause was "super-physical" or "super-natural".

It came from non physical computation "outside of" or "non-local" to the spacetime. Some non-local processing or computation. This has been born out in the fact that ALL physical causation, fundamentally, is non-local.

Because of the metaphysical presupposition of naturalism/materialism/physicalism. This/these is/are the false presupposition held by most in the field and these beliefs are wrong and can only go so far.

This is why you need the all mind and individuated units of minds (consciousnesses) to ground identity of forms over time in. Invariant things like logic as well. Another example is the avatar body that consciousness interfaces with. At one point you have an infant avatar and at one point and old man avatar. So how can both be you? How can the (I) have identity over time? Because the (I) is not physical. It's not made out of matter.
