That man interprets the world and makes "measurements" is true, but somewhat trivial. What does "all things" mean to you? In my opinion, to place the world in the context of "fabricated by man" detracts from my astonishment of the world. It seems to put it beneath man. It also places undue importance on measurement, or personal sensations. I prefer to be inclusive rather exclusive.
As I see it, Quality provides a world which includes our daily experience and much more. To relegate Reality to "experience" is like looking through a long narrow tube, Experiences are created for us, as well. How? Well that is not as important as accepting that they are. Using our limited experience to extrapolate to a similar form of cause, is like projecting shadows on a screen and seeing animals. I simply look for the clues, and am continually amazed.
