Highlights

"This perspective is vital in fields like Quantum Mechanics, where the act of observing (measuring) seems to change the behavior of particles. Realists struggle to explain why the world "changes" when we look at it. Lawson would say it doesn't change; we simply applied a different "closure" to the openness, and the resistance we encountered shifted accordingly."
