Does your understanding of the "strong metaphysical sense" include only physical reality? Can the Cosmos include things on which physical reality depends but which in themselves are distinguishable from physical reality? Mathematics and logic for example.
Wait, what? Physical reality depends on logic and math, who sold you up the river on this one? Descriptive, not prescriptive. Neither logic nor math are magical forces that float around arranging the cosmos in accordance with their "laws". These "laws" are a description (cobbled together by human beings) of how the cosmos appears to behave.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
