Dear Jerry
I think Einstein’s point is mine in Cybersemiotics. It seems impossible to
reduce one aspect of reality to any of the others.

Only among a small minority of philosophers of science who attempt to establish
the hegemony of the science of physics, this is probably true.
But, medicine, the biomedical sciences, the chemical (material) sciences are
forced to face reality, the reality of the conservation laws of physics. The
role of efficient causality is extremely perplex in life and in the chemical
sciences.
Einstein put it very nicely:
“In any complete theory, there is an element corresponding to each element of
reality”.
The correspondence mapping can not be ignored as CSP recognized when he noted
the relation between sin-sign and index and the mapping from icon to rhema.
IMHO, of course.
