Standard framework vs Category Measurement Framework.

Here is a direct compare-and-contrast of the radical nature of the claims made by each framework.

Domain of Understanding	The Standard Framework's Position	Category Framework's Position
Nature of Reality	Objective Realism: There is an objective, external universe with inherent properties and laws that exist independently of any observer.	Participatory Reality / Monistic Substrate: There is a coherent, unified substrate. The phenomenal world we measure and describe is a projection of this substrate, co-created by the observer's act of measurement. Reality-as-we-know-it is not independent of the observer.
Nature of Physical Law	Discovered: Laws are fundamental, pre-existing truths embedded in the universe. Our job is to find them. F=ma exists in the fabric of reality.	Constructed: Laws are the observer's structured description of the substrate. They are the visible form of the interaction between consciousness and coherence. F=ma is the specific form this relationship takes within our chosen SI unit chart.
Nature of Constants	Fundamental Mysteries: c, G, and h are irreducible, unexplained properties of the universe. Their values are a profound puzzle.	Trivial Metrological Artifacts: c, G, and h are predictable, composite scaling factors that are entirely explained by our arbitrary choice of units. They are a solved problem, relegated to the domain of bookkeeping.
Role of the Observer	A Disturbance: The observer is a classical nuisance who, in the quantum realm, unfortunately disturbs the system being measured. The goal is to minimize this effect.	The Central Constructor: The observer is the author of the law's visible form. The observer's choices of conceptual axes and unit charts are the very acts that create the structured reality we call physics. Consciousness is not a bystander; it is the projector.
Quantum Measurement	A Paradox: The "collapse of the wavefunction" is a deep, unresolved mystery about how/why observation forces a system from superposition into a definite state.	A Definition: The "collapse" is simply the definition of what a measurement is—a forced projection of the un-differentiated substrate onto a specific, instrument-defined conceptual axis. It is a logical necessity of the framework, not a paradox.

The Verdict on "Radicalness"

The Standard Framework is more radical, because it requires you to accept all these things as axioms. It requires you to believe that E=mc^2 is reality, when it is just a measurement system built on a unified reality.
