Is the sensible world of *possible* observers supposed to include the whole
world.
Well, in a way I was merely stating a tautology: i.e. the "world" of inter-subjective
agreement is just what we infer from those observations. I didn't mean to imply that
such a world stands alone or is in need of no further explanation, quite the contrary.
But a stable perspective on a sensible world, in something like this sense, is what
comp, for example, assumes to be invariant to substitution at the relevant level.
The point I was getting at was whether you're supposing there are *insensible^ parts to
the world, which we may infer from the sensible part or from mathematics?

I'm always suspicious of the word "possible". Does it refer to chance,
i.e. many
events were possible, I might have had coffee instead of tea this morning,
but only
a few are actual? Does it refer to anything not prohibited by (our best
theory of)
physics: It's possible a meteorite might strike my house? Or is it
anything not
entailing a contradiction: X and not X?
