Wikipedia encyclopedia says that, in physics and philosophy, a relational theory as a framework to understand reality or a physical system in such a way that properties of objects are only meaningful relatively to other objects in the system.

Any suggestions as to how I might find more about this please?

Can you give us a link?

Modern philosophy, psychology, physics, and even such things as music theory all tend to focus on relationships more than objects or things.
 


One way to find more information about relational theory in physics and philosophy is to research specific philosophers and scientists who have contributed to this theory. Some key figures to look into include Gottfried Leibniz, Ernst Mach, and Bertrand Russell. Additionally, reading academic articles and books on the topic can provide a deeper understanding of the principles and implications of relational theory. It may also be helpful to attend conferences or workshops focused on this subject, as well as engaging in discussions with experts in the field. Overall, exploring different sources and perspectives can help to further your understanding of relational theory and its applications in understanding reality and physical systems.
