I.e. I make no claims about reality beyond it occasionally being a useful metamodel.

It's really about the accuracy of your model in terms of predictions it makes, whether or not we can find any correspondence between those hidden variables and other observables?

Is that what you're getting at?

I don't understand what you mean by hidden variables in this context.
