Objects Are Stabilized Relationships: Reconciling Quantum Physics, Reclaiming Nouns as Scaffolding, and the Fallacy of Substance
Do objects exist before relationships, or are relationships the exact fabric from which objects are made? In this episode, we unpack Objects Are Stabilized Relationships, tackling the ultimate ontological conflict between classical materialism, Relational Quantum Mechanics (RQM), and postmodern metaphysics.
We deconstruct why our common-sense intuition—that "things" exist first and then link up via relations—is completely backward:
The Quantum Inversion: Relational Quantum Mechanics reveals that physical variables have values only relative to an interaction; relations precede objects. But…
