Scientific instruments do not work in the realm of metaphysical beliefs. Eg cannot put god, sin, or teleology/dysteleology in a test tube. C lower compartment of physics (science) s4 h5 deals with physical facts. Scientific instruments work extremely well in the natural world. Eg parts of nature can be placed in a test tube (2) complementary relationship s5 h5.

C two-way exchange between: metaphysics (religion & philosophy) C rooted in reciprocal steps of faith (or intellectual leaps) s6 h5 informed by intuition & reason no mathematical formula to move between upper & lower compartments.
