since i can't prove this for the natural world, I'll have to satisfy myself by using this hypothesis as a personality model instead
Though i do suspect it works in parallel with the natural world

This would be a type of philosophical solipsism

By saying 'mind alone' you have already opened up the possibility that there is something outside your mind.
And the answers on this Forum are evidence that there is indeed something outside your mind.
If you want to believe that your computer is the source of the evidence of the minds on the responses, then you might be thinking that 'mind alone' is some sort of answer to the natural world. If not, and think that the computer you are typing into is just a material conduit, then you will have to dismiss 'mind alone' and assert that there are things not 'mindful',
Aside from that your post does not make much sense.
