First of all. We must not have any a priori or preconceived notions of what is reality but instead follow the evidence of what is the true structure (if there is) of reality.
The Dirac Equation is one way to start. It predicts spins of particles and antimatter. How come the mathematics of it correspond to reality? Are their bolts and nuts in our physical space and time wherein they can use the mathematics of the Dirac Equation. If not. What's the reason why math is so effective in modelling reality? You may say that math just describe the world and one must note of the difference between the model and the world being modeled. But why does the model correspond to reality. You can say that as one throws a ball. Trajectory can be calculated using math. That's why math is important. I'm not speaking of such Newtonian model. But more of why our modern physics that is so far from Newtonian models correspond to reality.
You may answer it is because of symmetry. For example, gauge symmetry produce our gauge bosons like the photons. But why does our physical world use symmetry. I mean. What kind of structure of nature can make use of symmetry in the first place?
Perhaps we can start by removing all together any notions of matter, space and time. What is it that can use math to project spacetime and matter into the "world". Maybe it' sall a computer program? What is your theory? Right now. I think it's like there is a pure energy in the Big Bang that uses math to project a world. But what is that energy? Most important. Why does it obey Dirac Equation for example. What is the mechanism, or causal mechanism??
It is not enough to wonder how space and time can morph into each other in Special Relativity. It still doesn't explain why Quantum Mechanics work. Dirac Equation is a good start becaus it already encompass SR and QM.
So what makes the Dirac Equation tick? What mechanisms in nature cause it to follow the math of the Dirac Equation. Anyone got an idea? I'm serious I'm really perplexed by all of this. I know physics just tell you about results of measurements and some models and nothing more about our reality. That is why we must contemplate it... because the physicists won't tell us. They are so compartmentalized that they just don't care what is the structure of reality... as long as they can produce measurements and got paid by the institutions... they are already happy and contented. So let's deal with stuff where they left off and won't touch.
