That is the problem with fictionalism. Like atheism it is not a doctrine, it is the statement that “my god is the real one”. I guess you know that the physical reality is not itself a fiction, but how can you know that? The idea of doing research is searching the truth. > > In the landscape of fictions modeling quantum phenomena, his not only denies > probability, but denies the 'self' (in the sense of consciousness bring a > real thing). The complete contrary. I start from consciousness, I recover consciousness in the discourse of the machine, and I listen to what the machine already says, and the sound one see quick where the illusion/fiction of a physical primary reality comes in. More precisely, I explain why machine cannot identify the third person self ([]p) with their first person self ([]p & p) that they cannot even define, unless invoking some notion of truth (that they cannot define either by Tarski theorem) and … mechanism. Then I don’t deny probability, again, I justify them, without bring absurd notion like events without a cause. That is the whole point of Mechanism: it transforms physics into a study of the probability on our consistent (and arithmetically sound) extensions. With mechanism, we understand quickly why physics is before all a statistic calculus. You might study my sane04 paper(*), perhaps. Bruno (*)B. Marchal. The Origin of Physical Laws and Sensations.
