Curiosuly enough perhaps I could agree if you were saying "physically
objective" can be understood as denoting subjective agreement.
But frankly I do not believe that 17 is prime depends on any agreement
between different viewpoints (but the definition of 17 and prime of
course).
But about physics I agree. And I know that you know how Vic Stenger
extracts a big deal of physics from invariance for change of
referential systems.

I can understand why 1-experience seems direct, but I am not sure this
really make sense. As I said to Jef, infinite regression in computer
science can be solved.
