Science should tell us what the world is like. However, realist interpretations of physics face many problems, chief among them the pessimistic meta induction. This book seeks to develop a realist position based on process ontology that avoids the traditional problems of realism. Primarily, the core claim is that in order for a scientific model to be minimally empirically adequate, that model must describe real experimental processes and dynamics. Any additional inferences from processes to things, substances or objects are not warranted, and so these inferences are shown to represent the locus of the problems of realism. The book then examines the history of physics to show that the progress of physical research is one of successive eliminations of thing interpretations of models in favor of more explanatory and experimentally verified process interpretations. This culminates in collections of models that cannot coherently allow for thing interpretations, but still successfully describe processes.

A Key was first written for those who misunderstood the Society of Friends as it began. Its clarity provides a message for modern Friends, reminding all of what we properly are and what we are not.In a period of complex and rapid change, new patterns of religious thought, expression, and practice appear. The present-day emphasis on the practicalities of putting historic principles into action may eclipse deeper inward and contemplative understanding of Christian belief. It strengthens our faith to review fundamental concepts that guided Friends of the first generations. A Key may provide a perspective on the past, the present, and prospects for the future.
