It's perfectly clear to me which of the two is more important: prediction
or explanation?
Now that I have been self-liberated from fear of circularity,
it's clear that: each is more important than the other!

P.S. Someone pointed out to me off-list that I was far from the
first to have had this epiphany about circular reasoning:
"However, I think Bruno already has this idea.
"Hence a Reality, yes. But not necessarily a
physical reality. Here is the logical dependence:
NUMBERS -> "MACHINE DREAMS" -> PHYSICAL -> HUMANS -> PHYSICS -> NUMBERS.
--- Bruno Marchal"
