Is there some conflict between a flat surface and things being made out of particles that the world is unaware of? "Flat" simply refers to a particular arrangement of particles that we are capable of observing. A tabletop doesn't need me to imbue it with anything to be flat, it's just a description, not an incantation. It's an accurate description too, and so is yours. Tabletops are flat...and made out of particles. On that last point, our eyes are insufficient observation equipment. While we can perceive the one with our native set...the other requires assistance. Neither are wrong - but neither depend on anything being imbued - by us, to the table. You keep discussing what we do with the idea of something and then using that to comment on those things that the ideas -refer to-. We can imbue the -idea- of something with a bunch of things. Imbuing -the thing- to which our ideas refer is a little more difficult.
