It's highly abstract, trying to sketch the wiring diagram of existence itself, often using logic and reason rather than empirical data.

*Example: "The philosopher's Metaphysical Mechanics Theory argued that time isn't a river but a 'block universe.' The mechanism of change is an illusion created by consciousness moving along a fixed world-line in the 4D block. His 'mechanics' were a logical model of how eternalism could function to produce our experience of succession."*
