Thanks, that's quite clear. Should I reference abandonment of fundamental objects as the major feature of a paradigm shift?
In fact, in every case of inexpressibility that we know of, it's been because one of the ways of thinking about the world didn't give correct predictions.
Yes, every successful paradigm shift. Proponents of failed paradigm shifts are usually called cranks. :)
My position is that the repeated pattern of false fundamental objects suggest that we should give up on the idea of fundamental objects, and simply try to make more accurate predictions without asserting anything else about the "accuracy" of our models.
and simply try to make more accurate predictions without asserting anything else about the "accuracy" of our models.
How can you make accurate predictions while at the same time discarding the notion of accuracy ?
