> because they are useful? But the usefulness is objective, that is, it is not an arbitrary product of the mind but rather it is dictated by the logic of things once the goal is set, so invention (or discovery) of useful things is more or less unavoidable. As to quantum mechanics, you are talking about the variety of interpretations which from the practical standpoint are simply different ways of looking at quantum behavior, which, in turn, sometimes leads to different methods of calculation. |

It certainly seems like it is objective, and often it probably is, but in a more general sense, any instance of "x 'is' y" very often turns out to be subjective very quickly. Even with "is useful", things get complicated if one explicitly injects the dimension of Time into the question (it is there in the first place implicitly, but is easily overlooked).
