Briefly:

you seem to be distinguishing between dealing with objects; and pathways.

"Epistemic" as pathway; ""ontic" as direct interaction.

Without realising it: you have confronted the central issue in Dr. Dick's paper and in my own investigation.

For it is precisely this distinction that you draw; that it is about.

It is the difference between: contact interaction; and the "quantum" or "counting" or Dr. Dick's universal Dirac delta function.

It is this distinction that Stephen Hawking addresses in his work, seems without fully realising it.

It is two views of "1 + 1"; direct meeting of reality gives: freedom of perspective in meeting to potentially create from consciousness.

Regards,

Alan
