If " the quality of reality or absolute truth" = A,
THEN,
" we tend to attribute to it, and to the elements and concepts that constitute it" refer to " we tend to attribute A to it, and tend to attribute A as well to the elements and concepts that constitute it"?
Context:
To deal with such paradoxes we shall adopt an approach that we call model-dependent realism. It is based on the idea that our brains interpret the input from our sensory organs by making a model of the world. When such a model is successful at explaining events, we tend to attribute to it, and to the elements and concepts that constitute it, the quality of reality or absolute truth.
@oristarA,
We tend to attribute A to both the model as a whole and to each of its parts.
