Gregg, Thanks for reading my ontolgy and posing this question. My answer is a firm “yes” because no supernatural explanation is required to account for you, me, the text I offered, nor the question you asked. It is true that I can’t explain how life arose, or what (biologically) might be going on in your mind to motivate, form, and express the question you asked, but I am confident these all have explanations within the natural world.

When you say “the “core theory” in physics is “known to be correct and is sufficient to fully explain all the substances and processes we experience in our everyday lives” I find that to be the standard line of a physical reductionist. Would you say that the core theory is “sufficient to fully explain” my inquiry regarding your ontology?

For me, more and more, I am focusing on the need for a coherent scientific ontology that allows us to clarify the proper relationships between physics and psyche. That is what UTOK affords us.

On the one hand, science is the full suite of knowledge and data relevant to a particular issue: the cumulative answer to every aspect of one particular question, “what is true?” On the other hand, science is also a process for testing, inquiring, refining, and reproducing results that will probe and reveal further information about the Universe, beyond what is presently known. When one talks about “being aware” of the enterprise of science, it requires a recognition of your own incompetence in all areas compared to the greatest experts, including, if you yourself are a scientist, of your own ignorance and incompetence in various aspects of even your own field. When I speak about the “onto-epistemology” of science, this is what I mean. The ontology being the knowledge about a particular issue, the epistemology being the process of knowing and justifying (i.e., the methods).
