What is reality and what is dream? - on cladistics and Higgs' particle-ism

Reality is fundamentally ambiguous between what we traditionally call "pattern" and "process", which also protrudes in the dual wave and particle properties of photons (among other facts).

Today, however, this fact is challenged by class-realists in the form of cladists and Higgs' particle-ists, which claim that they can bridge this fundamental ambiguity using totally abstract constructions like their ideas of "a true tree of life" and "Higgs' particle", respectively.

Such ideas can't, however, change this fact, because if they could, then the fact wouldn't have been in the first place (ie, the change would invalidate itself). Such ideas are thus nice as dreams and may be very desired, but are, sorry to say, impossible as realities. A fact is a fact and an idea is an idea. Reality is reality and dream is dream.

These class-realists are thus merely trying to solve this fundamental problem by turning it in-side-out, which doesn't accomplish anything else than that we go from rationality to irrationality.
