I'm not sure about
Not in worlds, not according to theories.
It's just an interesting, just an interesting shibboleth, I think.
pick up osmotically by being in the field.
Um but you should add on that theory.
So what does it mean for me to propose a physical theory?
To propose a physical theory means that you propose
Some kind of stuff.
physical stuff.
You could call these uh the ontology, the matter, um
the degrees of freedom, the uh the things that have configurations, um whatever the moving parts are.
I call them like moving parts, the moving parts of of of the theory.
And those moving parts, according to the theory, are its fundamental microphysical constituents.
By definition, they're the things I call the microphysical things, the things that are stipulated axiomatically by the theory as the basic moving parts.
the basic elementary moving parts of the theory, I call those the microphysical features of the theory.
And then we have dynamical laws.
The rules according to which those moving parts are supposed to change in some way, either deterministically or probabilistically, or something else I haven't thought of.
And then we call those the microphysical laws, the dynamical microphysical laws, again, deterministic or probabilistic.
that either govern or dictate or summarize depending on one's view about the how laws are supposed to work.
that relate those moving parts to the way that they behave.
