Is Quantum Weirdness a result of SRH?

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2444045-the-odds-of-quantum-weirdness-being-real-just-got-a-lot-higher/

Not read the article and this is a lazy stub for a broad idea that is developing.

But crudely we know from SRH that you cannot build a theory upon its own conclusions. This renders the conclusions empty, tautological and don't progress your theory. Put another way a theory can only ever develop what is already given to it. Put that way theorising is really just uncovering things not obvious in the starting position. Synthetic A Priori would in this understanding be building no higher than the a priori on which it is founded.

It follows from this that theories of the "normal" must not be "normal." Where is the explanation power of just explaining the "normal" from normal foundations. If we wish to actually build a theory of normal it must be not normal.

I also see a possibility of a type of Noether's Theorem here where what we are calling "normal" say for example "continuous valued" or "local causation" are theoretic features which are just part of some deeper symmetry.

I guess in mathematics which is not hindered by constant need to parallel some preconceived "reality" and can explore pure abstract thought we have an analogy for the depth of possible theories that will be unearthed in the future. Just as we once struggled with moving from "normal" counting numbers to abstract negative numbers and then zero and then fractions and then irrational numbers so we will soon be happy moving away from the "normal" in physics as we must draw on deeper abstractions to explain the current stage.

This blog has always had no belief in a Grand Unified Theorem because the question will then exist as to why the universe has this law, which will just be the spring board to further study. The Full Employment Theorem is analogous which uses Godel to prove that there is no limit to algorithm and computing development. In a similar way if we ignore an idea of a "fixed reality" then a similar infinite development exists in all sciences. Even if we ever did fully understand the "fixed reality" we would always be faced with the question why this reality and not another.

So some "weirdness" with respect to the field of understanding is a necessary condition of anything with explanatory power.

"The Jewish Fallacy" OR "The Inauthenticity of the West"

I initially thought to start up a discussion to formalise what I was going to name the "Jewish Fallacy" and I'm sure there is ...
