there is a fundamental reality

The only thing you are hammering at is that we (as animals who plan ahead) all operate as though there was a fixed reality independent of our physiology and interests.

You appear to have no understanding that the "details" of such a reality are under constant revision and what may be universally accepted as functional " at one level is open to speculation at another level. For example, Newton's laws work at for macro-objects (as defind by us) at "normal speeds" but give way to relativistic laws at the micro-level and higher speeds. There is no theoretical limit to the potential need for this giving way.....i.e. there is no axiomatic bedrock on which we can ultimately rely. Such a position would involve a TOE (theory of everything) and general opinion was that even Einstein wasted his later years on that one !

Here endeth the lesson writ bold !

there is no axiomatic bedrock on which we can ultimately rely.

Was the periodic table found in a burning bush?

Is it a codification of observations by humans making human-bound observations resting on human-bound theoretical assumptions or is it an absolute code presented by God (or any other source of absolute truths) to humans as were the tablets to Moses in the burning bush?

If the periodic table is the historical result of human observation/experience/codification it is best described as a relativistic creation serving provisionally the function of an ("absolutistic") "axiomatic bedrock on which we can ultimately rely". Is the bush still burning?

Policeman: Do you know where you are? You're in a police station.
Father Dougal: Oh right. Well, in that case, I'll just have the Satay Chicken

...fair is fair and to each its own, that last post of yours is actually fun and well put in context I could n´t help but laugh...North is a marvellous creature, unique !

Surely you have a dictionary.
