## In short

Argues with DSRP's ontological claims, publishing a full email exchange with Derek Cabrera to lay out agreements and disagreements about what the theory establishes.

## What they found (results)

Concludes DSRP functions as a grammar of intelligibility rather than a generative causal theory — accepting its descriptive utility while questioning whether universality alone confers ontological status, and asking for cases where DSRP rules a model out.

These researchers were not testing DSRP. The finding is theirs; the correspondence to DSRP is drawn by this site.
