Hi Harv,

>>>Whether you are the "apostle Paul" for his paper I'll leave it for you to decide>>However, couldn't we just randomly pick any model and say 'this represents reality'? Astrologers do this all the time.>Hilary Putnam, I believe, showed that it is possible to create an infinite number of theories to explain a finite amount of observables.>but in terms of science I don't see how [Dick's discovery] can lead to any new scientific breakthroughs (e.g., predictions of observable phenomena yet to be observed). It doesn't strike me as a theory per se, but simply as a way of interpreting theory
