a convenient theoretical framework to integrate the various ideas and con-

cepts invoked to explain/define reality in the history of philosophy and

physics (see Table 10.11).

In conclusion, the iconic model of reality presented in Figure 10.30

may be regarded as a theoretical or cosmological “net” cast in the sea of

Table 10.11 A suggested identification of the nodes and the edges of the

iconic model of reality (shown in Figure 10.30) with traditional philosophical

and scientific ideas in the history of human knowledge. The second column

lists relevant ideas from philosophy, especially from Peircean triadic

metaphysics/ontology, and the third column lists those from quantum physics.

(^1) Pauli believed that reality embodies both rationality and irrationality and that the latter
corresponds to Jung’s group unconsciousness [440].
(^2) I named this cut to honor William James who first used the term “complementary” to describe
human consciousness in terms of two mutually exclusive consciousness, first observed in
patients with hysterical anesthesia [40]. So, it may be stated that the concept of complementa-
rity in the traditional quantum mechanical [417–419], the weak quantum mechanical [51], and
the complementarian logical senses [24, 50] all began with William James [40].
