A comprehensive model adding dimensions of structure and access. Axis 1: Material-Ideal. Axis 2: Objective-Subjective. Axis 3: Absolute-Relative. Axis 4: Deterministic-Indeterministic. Axis 5: Continuous-Discrete (reality is smooth vs. pixelated/quantized). Axis 6: Manifest-Hidden (reality is as it appears vs. reality is deeper than appearances). These six axes generate sixty-four metaphysical positions. Physics suggests material, objective, relative, indeterministic, discrete (quantum), hidden (underlying math). Everyday experience suggests material, objective, absolute, deterministic, continuous, manifest. The 6 Axes reveal that science and common sense occupy very different positions—and that's why they conflict.
The 6 Axes of the Spectrum of Reality "You trust your senses. The 6 Axes show why physics disagrees: your senses say continuous, manifest, absolute. Physics says discrete, hidden, relative. Same reality, completely different axes positions. Neither is wrong—they're just describing different levels. The axes help you see why the conflict isn't about facts—it's about which axes you're using."
