Harald A. Wiltsche argues that physics cannot escape phenomenology: objectivity in physics is not detachment from observers but invariance across frames, achieved through transformation rules; perceptual objectivity shows how our experiences and anticipations about objects from different perspectives ground physical knowledge, meaning the subject–object correlation has always underpinned physics and must be embraced to advance science.

A new paper proposes individualizing psychological assessment by integrating the Enactivist Big-5 Theory of Personality with clinical practice. The approach considers how an individual's traits interact with their unique experiences in the world, aiming to understand and predict psychological distress. By using the Five Factor Model, clinicians can compare individuals along major personality dimensions and gain insights into their perception and interaction with reality. This personalized assessment has the potential to enhance empathy and understanding, particularly in couples with significant differences in personality traits. The authors emphasize the need for further research to formalize and systematize this approach.
