You are so bad at reading...
I said the majority philosophers opinion is that there is a class of objects, facts that are not caused by anything, or non-causal. Example would be 'brute facts'.
The rest of your comment is wasted.

You posed the question with a conditional such that modal realism is truth. I said nothing about what you actually believe, only what you typed.
What i type is the conditional. what you assume is something else all together.

Abstract objects don't "exist" in nature. If they existed in this form, they would be concrete. Abstract objects only exist as a relationship between reality and the understanding of reality. One cause for them is consciousness.
Don ` t matter to me if you believe in A.O or not. What i wanted to establish in only that if A.O exist, then A.O is non-causal. Case close.

I don't believe there are brute facts. When there seems no further explanation there is always a reciprocal explanation in which at least two things make each the other the case symbiotically. Nothing stands alone.
What the hell is a 'reciprocal explanation'? Did you just made it up or something? I actually do want to know what you have to say about 'brute facts'. According to definition, E is a brute if there is no facts F such that F explains E.

As for keeping saying that I'm bouncing around like crazy......
I will say it again...NOT
Here is a recap:
You think infinite numbers of object is impossible, because infinite is not a number. Great. I suggest if modal realism is true, then there are infinite many worlds. We haven` t talk anything about infinite. What we talk about is you objection that worlds cannot be causally isolated. I happen to think causal isolation is perfectly reasonable. The traditional idea is that the worlds are primitives, and thus, requires no further explanation. You go against this tradition. Lets talk.
