Here reza, have a bone to gnaw on: "ontic differentiation is not itself anything ontic."

Are you implying that distinguishing revisable ontic categories is an epistemic affair. If so, that's what I was implying.

No Im implying that the act of distinguishing is exactly not an epistemic affair.

Radical nominalism perhaps? Any kind of scientific theory includes this kind of pointing towards external phenomena, including matter and the relations between matter. In order to compare our abstract categories with reality, we must "name" it.

not unlike how a painter names different curves and shades through the act of imitating their reference.

Replying to @NicolasDVillar1 @chrish420
This is neither the matter of how a painter names different curves, nor is it a matter of corroborating claims with reality. Science doesn't need the notion of reality to progress. In fact all such notions create a cognitive fog which is unhelpful? What do you mean by reality ...

Science does need the notion of reality to progress. This is all the more evident in the cosmological debates. If we were only battling out on the matter of epistemological problems we could never go beyond the ideological battle of atheism vs Christian teleology

No it really doesn't. The notion of reality that science puts forward is completely fictional in the accurate scientific sense. Science might have metaphysical biases (which it has), but the goal is to renegotiate the settled metaphysical accounts of reality.

It is a fiction, but it is a unique fiction due to the power of reality to exist outside of our pre-existing biases. Without the notion of realism we would still have no reason to differentiate object from subject. It would all still be subject as it was for primitive societies
