While my instinct/habit is to defer to an imagined idealized "objective reality",  I see no evidence to the contrary that we construct a highly agreed upon Model which eventually reaches the declared quality of "objectively real" when enough of (the right) people agree on all the nuances and claim to have verified the evidence on the table, up to and including discovering/presenting yet new evidence through repeatability under current standards of such.

For me this string of sentences unravels.  Do you know what you mean by “objective reality”?  I don’t start out knowing what I would mean, and find myself very cautious in throwing down for some gloss.  Does it root as far down as you can go into the body?  If so, then that rooting didn’t come from anybody’s intersubjectively-granted permission.  Wouldn’t that count as “evidence”?  If not, what does the term refer to?  If the higher-level models are just models, then you aren’t granting them any impulse to behaving metaphysically, and you didn’t need the extra term, no?

I don't know if this is responsive but I feel as if  I *can* invert thisand see the Objective as "what is" and the inter/subjective as "speculative"?  Somewhat Necker-ish?
