If you read words metaphorically then you can make them mean anything.
The whole point is that the quantum wave is not a metaphor. That is what the
two slit experience, done with one particle at a time, illustrates.
Moving to instrumentalism is an option in applied physics. It is non sensical
in metaphysics.
On the contrary, it is a metaphysic.
As a metaphysics it is self-defeating as it leads to solipsism. Metaphysical
instrumentalism denies any non-observable reality, not even the dark side of
the moon.
No. That's strawmanning. "Observable" allows for indirect observation.
Observation is not the same as seeing.
Indirect observation needs extrapolation. You just interpret this in Aristotle
metaphysics which attribute a *fundamental* reality on what we see and that we
infer from that. But that is contradicted by the facts and the mechanist theory
of mind. You are invoking your God without saying, ITSME.
You attribute a fundamental reality to what you think. Perception is a
form of thinking.
