Sorry I missed this..You take definition
And then say
Here we agree, but in doing so we disagree profoundly.
Observation space, and reality space are completely different things.
Because in practice we can only study and model the behaviour of observations.
All our models inevitably are in observations space of limited senses, and just a projection of what ever exists in the higher dimension reality. The 2D to 3D analogy I gave.
We are not modelling what is , just what we can observe of what is, and only then if it repeats.
You disagree with my definition of science. I point out the reality of actual science. It reduce to two processes, first patterns in observations of repeating things, then either fitting them in to the existing physical model, or adapting it to allow.
And that is the point. What is billed as study of the structure of the natural world , is in reality study of the structure of observations of it. If we were bats, our universe would stop at the end of the atmosphere. Because that is the limit of observations made in sound, not the limit of physical world, just our perception of it.

It can be fundamental in regards to what we can OBSERVE, which is, of course, part of the definition of science.
