I made a mistake, but I think fixing the first sentence is all that I need to do. (Maybe I merely misspoke, but I'm not sure what I was thinking, even only a couple hours ago).

The first sentence should read something like: Reality is a particular causal web, but the correct model of that causal web depends on your state of information. In other words, the subjectively objective component only comes in when we try to infer something about the causal web that is reality.
