”…the ICT [Incommensuration Theorem] regards symmetry and continuity to be mutually inconsistent. … Therefore, the notion that reality is absolutely lawful is inconsistent with the notion that reality is absolutely local. In effect, a conception of reality must either allow 1) multiple mutually inconsistent sets of different physical laws which are applicable in different places and times (failure of lawfulness and symmetry), or 2) inherently non-local interactions and changes which are fundamentally non-deterministic (failure of locality and continuity). No theory of reality can assert both total generality, and total determinism.”
