In quantum physics, uncertainty is a definite thing. It can be measured, very precisely, and is governed by equations and laws, like other physical phenomena.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, uncertainty is both a construal of experience as ideational meaning and an enactment of intersubjective relations as interpersonal meaning.
Ideationally, uncertainty is a Quality of cognitive projection, reconstrued metaphorically as a Thing. It is agnate with projecting figures such as those worded as I think… .
Interpersonally, uncertainty is a type of modalisation, probability, that assesses the validity of propositions.
The measurement of 'uncertainty', as probability, is a quantification of meaning as potential: potential happenings etc.
Physical phenomena are not "governed" by equations and laws, any more than a landscape is "governed" by a map of that landscape.
