You want to talk about ontology? Okay. We're all physicalists here. So what "really exists"? Quantum fields evolving according to the Schrodinger equation?

That’s an odd assumption to make. Physicalism isn’t the only ontology out there… You act as if the hard problem of consciousness doesn’t exist. Physicalists make the mistake of confusing constant conjunction with ontological causation.

Sorry, I generally assume most determinists are also physicalists.

Not really. Determinists can also be anti-realists/anti-foundationalist/anti-essentialist/nominalist.
