That is nice Aristotelian poetry. But you just repeat you ontological commitment in a material world, where no physicist has a consistent theory of it, nor even have tried to test its existence. What the Aspect experience has only shown, is that IF there is a physicaly reality then it can’t be a boolean reality (which would have already annoyed Aristotle). Then with Mechanism, “Matter” invocation needs to add some magic incompatible with YD+CT. It is like invoking a God to impeach testing simpler theories which do not commit a so strong ontological commitment.
