21 In his James Lectures at Harvard in 1940, he abandoned the term «particulars» for «universals» or «qualities» that, based on the examples he cites, functioned somewhat like Whiteheadian «eternal objects»: that is, ordinary macroscopic objects or experiences are to be conceived as a particular togetherness of these qualia at a given locus in spacetime.22

Because their locations overlap, there can be neither punctual correspondence between God and the world nor precise detection in spacetime of the locations of the participants in such an event.

Conversely, any object or phenomenon in the spacetime world that we wish to recognize as real must have causal powers.

Ontological physicalism gives a sense to the idea that physics, the science of bits of matter in spacetime, is our basic science — whatever its ultimate success may turn out to be, it is the only science that attempts to give us a comprehensive understanding of all of our world, Other sciences are «special sciences,» in that each of them concerns a specially restricted domain.
