Harman would say that I am reducing the world to indeterminate fluctuations. He says that flux is a lump of stuff. That is what he thinks energetic quantum fluctuations are. But Harman does not understand what quantum fluctuations are. It is not a substance. Energy is not a substance. No physicist will tell you that energy is a substance. Especially on the quantum scale, you are not dealing with substance. The whole point of quantum indeterminacy is that it is indeterminate, and Harman calls that a reduction, but what are you reducing matter to? Something indeterminate? That cannot be a reduction. That’s like saying I am reducing things to something irreducible. You can say the words, but it makes no sense. Energy is not a lump. That is ridiculous …
