The discussions here was interesting, as they made me realize more how differently we all think about these foundational issues.
Instead some kind of evolution, that does not obey dynamical LAW, seems needed. And this way of phrasing it naturally unifies initial states, and the state of law. As I see if none of them should be identified with ontic states. So I think these realis ontologies already lead us into trouble, even if we do not involve HV realist models. So even those that reject bohmian mechanics, but embrace the theoretical paradigm of standard model are still IMO in trouble.
As has been mentioned already, these finetunings are alreadyt solved by nature, if physicists only would learn from biology. The state space in biology is now timeless fixed, its evolving, but not according to physical law. The one critique one can have about this at first is; so what, how can we get more predictive from this insight? That is the question I ask. And the reason why Smoling mentions ins CNS, so just set an example of showing that one prediction is that the insight means we can use the evolutionary traits such as survival, reproduction and self-organisation as soft sub-constraints to replace the HARD deductive constraints of timeless symmetries. And try to reconstruct the measurement theory as per this. Here the deductive machinery of an observer, is necessarily an evolved inference system which is more abductive, NOT deductive. But compressed sensing also means that even the inference systems itself is truncated, and when you truncate a soft inference, it looks like more exact like a deductive system, because you discarded the insiginificant doubts from reflections.
The discussions on here made me realize exactly how much headache the entanglement and nature of non-commutative observables causes. If we can not find a conventional "realist model", we need to find another plausible common sense way of understanding htis. And i think that is possible.

In the extended meaning i used before, even the standard model as it stands encodes a realism of symmetries. And these symmetries are used as deductive constraints when we construct theories. This is the poweful methods the theoretical framwork of QFT rests on. But my perspective is that this power is deceitful. As the choice of the constraints can be seen as a fine tuning in theory space. So we do not only have the fine tuning of initial conditions, we have also the fine tuning of laws. This is a big problem i see, and dynamical fune tunings could then not follow a timeless law, as that is the metalaw dilemma Smolin talks about.DarMM said:Hence all Realist models have fine-tunings.
What one can now do is attempt to show the fine-tuning is dynamically generated, but you can't avoid the need for it.
