Um
And then one can ask questions of emergence.
What kinds of derivable macro level phenomena can we see emerge from this?
Can we see tables and chairs show up that things that were not put in in the micro scale picture of the theory that come out contingently in some sense, approximately contingently in some emergent way?
A theory of atoms giving rise to tables and chairs, for example, would be an example of this.
Um
Is there some
more profound sense of microphysical that is theory independent, I'm not quite sure.
What I can say is that what's microphysical on one theory
might not be microphysical on some other theory.
For example, if you believe that your first theory is not a fundamental theory, but is itself obtainable through some intertoretic reduction to some
deeper, more fundamental theory in some way, in a sense that you can phrase in terms of, say, supervenience.
The only way that things in the h in the
That l m less fundamental theory can change is if there is some change in this more plain fundamental theory.
That's a supervenience relation.
Um
Then it may be that the things that you were calling microphysical according
to your first description on that first theory are not microphysical according to this other theory.
On this other theory, sorry.
On this other theory.
