I am leaving open the possibility that there is a level below what I am calling the lowest level of physics, whether that is atoms or QFT or whatever. The point is, the entire universe seems to behave in accordance with the rules of that level. If there is a lower level, that 1/2

lower level just results in the behavior of the QFT/GR/whatever level. It can't *contradict* the QFT level (cf. The Relativity of Wrong). And since everything above the QFT level is explainable in terms of QFT, everything is "screened off" from lower levels.

Yes, so this "bottom level" where reality exclusively sits is necessarily unknowable, so you cannot say anything about reality. You only have these subjective higher-level interpretations like atomic theory
