Monism is on the retreat in many, many fields “lately”. We still haven’t really understood all the implications of post Newtonian determinism, and thermodynamics isn’t super useful here either because most of the systems we care about are “open”.. also, models (even those with high predictive power locally) don’t compose in a way that allows for predictive power of emergent phenomena. A hierarchical mutual-causality framework (a la Ascendency) will likely get us where we need to go to understand things more better. This is all being actively discussed in philosophy of science circles, iirc Edit: am just a hobbyist at this stuff, I’m probably wrong ;)
