Love the title , love the content, and also the way it's expressed.

I personally find the viewpoints of P, Q, R and S to be layered within my own mind. The nature of their hierarchy varies according to context, and I am inclined to think that the ability, to adopt different lines of sight in different fields of experience as needed, confers an evolutionary advantage.

I'd be keen to see the resulting conversation if the concept of "truth" was given its primary meaning of "trustworthy" rather than the abstract ideal of "absolute truth" that was being discussed.

I suspect that Bohr's notion of "complementarity" would be even more in evidence if their contrasting viewpoints, lines and fields were seen in this light.

We can't see the duck and the rabbit simultaneously.
