“Expert Opinion”, in the shape of Merton,Scholes et al., chose to ignore these calculational inconveniences and instead promoted models based on mild randomness – Gaussian.

Most physicists particularly experimentalists are content to use the idea of wavefunction collapse as a calculational shortcut and go about the business of predicting and measuring the physical world, for which regular quantum theory works astound-ingly well.

You are right - by and large, people now no longer worry about the fact that they are unable to derive their QFT calculational tools from first principles.

It also suggests that spacetime is really not a physical entity at all, but is more of an auxiliary calculational device.

The metric is a tool, and points defined in a particular metric are calculational entities of sorts.

Does this mean the curvature “exists,” or does this mean that it is a geometrical calculational device for predicting a measurement?
