Even in the hardest sciences—physics, chemistry, [mathematics]—spectral variables operate, though they're often harder to see. They include the material history of your equipment (was that laser calibrated correctly?), the human factors in "exact" measurements (who read the dial and were they squinting?), the theoretical [assumptions] baked into your instruments (your detector is built on theories that might be wrong), and the metaphysical commitments that shape what questions seem worth asking (why this phenomenon and not that one?). The [natural sciences] achieve their precision not by eliminating spectral variables—impossible—but by developing elaborate rituals to keep the ghosts at bay, knowing they can never fully succeed.
