There is no such thing as “metaphysical reality”, the concept is empty, and it’s meaningless to question whether things possess the property.
The different ‘interpretations’ give the same results for everything we can observe, and the same predictions for the things we can’t yet observe. They are logically equivalent. They are the same thing with different appearances. It is nonsensical to say that one is true, or that another is not true. They are all equally true.
If someone can locate a prediction that one makes that another does not, THEN we will recognize them as logically distinguishable. If someone can produce evidence compatible with some but incompatible with others, THEN we can begin to speak about some being or and untrue.
As it stands, asking about such matters is like asking whether the ice cream is ‘metaphysically ‘atop the pie, or the pie ‘metaphysically’ beneath the ice cream. The phrases are different—surely the things they describe must be different, too!
NO. Metaphysics is nonsense, and the question incoherent.
