[MD] What is radical empiricism?

[gav]

if i may,
radical empiricism is taking immediate experience as
the only certainty. everything else is 'bracketed'; 
putative, not absolute.

in the MOQ the same position is seen in the DQ/sq
relation. DQ is absolute (truly radically empirical);
sq is abstracted from DQ; sq is what we call 'the
world' - every*thing*.

memory, science etc are all sq patterns or
meta-patterns. their pragmatic truth value is
dependent upon their continued accord with (immediate)
experience.

everything is abstracted from immediate experience
(DQ), including us.
