From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, this:
- confuses meaning of the first-order (the Universe) with meaning of the second-order (laws of physics);
- by the word 'require', misconstrues the laws of physics as modulation (obligation/inclination) instead of modalisation (probability/usuality); and
- proposes that the second-order (theory) requires something of the first-order (data), which is equivalent to proposing that a map requires something of the landscape it models.
