"Model one: A spiritual being generates and recreates at will pictures of space, time, motion, etc. and views them."

I don't think I missed diddley-squat, Amos. There's enough unstated premises buried in your 'Model one' to take up paragraphs of disclaimers & explication!
Just because you can state the linguistic framework in one sentence, it does not follow that the concept is 'simple'.

As soon as you can clarify WHAT a "spiritual being" might be, where their 'will' resides, and how one can 'generate' anything, we can discuss it.

My poor 'matter' made up of lowly, but measurable 'atoms', carefully described in the periodic table and whose structure can be manipulated, is at LEAST something whose interactions can be predicted. Spiritual entities who move thru...ummm..non-space? and 'see' material things so as to help their material bases commune with other material in non-material modes using no discernable energy and.....and... and you call THAT a simpler concept?

   It boggles the... uhhh... neural synapses.
