This relates to QM and experimentation, i.e. is it real or
just our interpretation?:

Thank you for posting that. I finally understand what epistemic means. Contrasted with ontic. I'm an epistemicist. I believe we build mathematical models based experiment and observation. Just as when Newton said "I frame no hypotheses" when challenged to explain the mechanism of gravity. Newton understood that he couldn't do that; he could only write down what was happening, not why it happened.
I wish more modern scientists were as smart as Newton.
