I thought I'd add that I'm keen to hear any response you have to this. I was actually thinking of running it past you before I published but I then decided what the hell, just scribble it down (after several re-edits). That said, if these ideas here have any merit, I'd like to assess any challenges or queries that can be stood up to see if it could be developed into a rigorous response to the realism/relativism debate. And i must add, thanks for the encouragement and inspiration :)
