I didn’t claim that they are *ontological *realms. The claim was that they are defined as opposing each other.
Lots of things are. Why would tha matter?
As if something is subjective it’s not objective and vice versa and that this framework harms out understanding
At some moment it’s just simpler to postulate some “shared reality” than disjointed experiences.
So what you mean by experience based explanation isn’t empiricism, it’s something like solipsism or idealism...?
Unless, of course the tail was originally called a leg by mistake and I’m now using a better fitting term.
That would be an extraordinary claim in need of supporr.
The question—according to the OP—is whether physics is objective. A lot of people want physics to tell them what reality is objectively. If you personally don;’t, that has no impact on them.
As always people have different definitions of “reality”. I’m pointing the author towards definitions that I find less confused.
Without explaining why.
More than one ontology can predict the same observations—that’s part of the problem.
And yet only one of the hypothesis is the most accurate and the least complex considering all evidence.
There’s multiple simplicity criteria, too.
Come on, you brought up Solomonoff inductor yourself, you have to understand the underlying principle.
Yes. In fact, unlike a lot of people here, I can see its drawbacks.
SIs try to process an infinite list of programmes in a finite time. To acheve this, the process cess shorter candidate rgramnes first. In other words, the way they work has a justification that has nothing to do with their probability of successfully representing the territory , assuming they can be unproblematically translated into hypotheses. It might conveniently be the case that the same simplicity criterion does the job, but it doesn’t have to be
So you concede that we don’t have some easy, automatic method of figuring out ontology. And you also can’t say that it doesn’t matter objectively,...only that you don’t care subjectively.
Only in the narrow edge case of “metaphysical reality” being completely uncorrelated with our observations.
No, in the cases where metaphysical reality is not completely correlated. That’s why you need simplicity criteria.
Do you concede that in every other case we do? Not sure what you mean by “matter objectively”.
According to some universal values.
I’m expecting that the best map describing the territory it’s actually correlated to, isn’t confused that it doesn’t describe some other territory that it’s not correlated to.
Again , the problem is *knowing that you have axhieved correspondence.
