<p>>I would reduce your 7 types to just the 2: (1) and (3). I
like Eric's idea that the term is mostly used as a placeholder,
but it doesn't feel like a definition. It sounds more schematic
<br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I appreciate both of these points... 5 (placeholder) definitely
fits "schematic" over "defining"..<br>

<p>I think your reduction is probably widely held among this group
up to a point. I'm a hair-splitter by constitution so resist
reductions or re-fray them at the first opportunity, but
understand that others might not, and might not for very good
reasons that I don't (always) share. <br>
</p>
<p>I find "intersubjective" particularly useful and "participatory"
particularly compelling and agree that the more these are
*formalized* the more useful/compelling they might become, but I
don't see their subjectivity and contingency collapsing into the
same kind of ontic/objectivity that Scientific Realism is grounded
in?</p>
