The idea of sub-centivalism spaces a thing all by itself versus relationalism spaces is not clear to me. I think that in my view, space should be thought of as a convenient way to talk about relationships between different subsystems in the quantum mechanical wave function. In that sense, I am closer to being a relationalist than a sub- centivalist. For everyday physics, you know, predicting gravitational wave signatures from LIGO, sub-Centivalism might be the way to go.
Welcome to the April 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
