Holes in theories that are equipped with a measurement theory

We must not conflate the physical world with its mathematical model in our physical theory.

If we correctly separate these two, we also have to keep track of how a model represents the world. During the process of modelling, we get a natural redundancy in the representation. I will argue that once we notice that in a theory equipped with a measurement theory we can afford to be indifferent about how our model represents the world —for the reason that we are just permuting unmeasurable things according to the measurement theory— we should read this as the theory insisting that we are trying to describe something non-existent.
