The idea that our theories are approaching some metaphysical truth is
essentially just the same as assuming there is some more
comprehensive and coherent theory. I note that Hawking and Mlodinow
recently suggested that we might accept a kind of patch-work set of
theories of the world, rather than insisting on a single coherent
theory.
Could you please give references to such a statement?

In my view, this is exactly the way to implement efficiently some
simulation of the world. It is unnecessary for example to simulate
atoms until some observer will start researching them.
