Particles...in case you were unaware..are something. Our descriptions are -all math- because we are incapable of communicating them otherwise. Again, that says something about us, not reality.What are people in the Matrix observing? Would you call the objects of their observations real? They certainly would. That's because our reality is defined by observable qualities and relationships. There's nothing about observation or science that requires the actual existence of the things being observed-- only that consistent relationships actually exist which may be observed, categorized, and hypothesized about.
I do not deny the reality of QM particles. I deny the interpretation of the framework in which the qualities and relationships from which we've inferred the existence of QM particles, and in which we've observed them, exist.
