Sorry, I don’t understand. Are you saying that you don’t agree with my definition of reductionism (which was intended as a point of agreement, not a straw man at all)? I agree that an opinion about the likelihood that the standard model will continue to serve is a separate question.

Yes. Reductionism has nothing to do with how detailed our map is.
I find it hard to square that with the Sequence item referred to, but then you imply you also found it confused. So, what do you use the word to mean?
I have no objection to the definition given in the LW wiki.
That’s using reductionism to mean materialism.
