Semantic Realism and Falsifiability
Contents
Semantic Realism ( Ontology )§
Definition§
The standard that the terms used in mathematical equations must successfully refer to actual physical entities or structural relations in the world
Role§
It ensures that mathematical variables represent real elements of nature (like fields, particles, or spacetime curvature) rather than just being convenient calculational tricks.
Falsifiability ( Epsitemology )§
Definition§
Formulated by Karl Popper, this states that for a theory to be scientifically meaningful, there must be a logically possible observation that could prove it wrong.
Role§
It prevents physics from lapsing into dogma or untestable metaphysics; if a theory can explain every imaginable outcome, it actually explains nothing.4. Nomological Necessity (Causal Invariance)
