The w1w2w3 is part of popper’s metaphysics, it is generated by popper’s views.
It isn’t even supposed to solve anything

Next time my dentist asks: "Where does it hurt ?" I guess that I will point to
my brain. :)
There are good reasons that the brain locates pain in the tooth, and the
dentist also seeks to locate it in a similar manner. The W1-W2-W3 distinction
does not seem very relevant to the business of solving the practical problem.

Subject: [lit-ideas] Can I Have A Pain In My Tail?
In a message dated 1/23/2015 11:52:34 A.M. Eastern Standard Time,
donalmcevoyuk@xxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:donalmcevoyuk@xxxxxxxxxxx> writes in "Re:
Facing the Music": "... the dog will have no conscious understanding that its
brain is 'locating' the pain in the tooth (when the pain is actually located in
the brain rather than in the tooth), and the dog will have no grasp of the
issue of caries or its effect on its central nervous system (for "caries" and
"CNS" here involve W3 theoretical knowledge), nor will the dog grasp in W3
terms that there is a potential solution to its plight in the form of a
veterinary dentist:- conversely, the human understanding of toothache, where
it encompasses all these things that a dog cannot grasp, may be a W3-dependent
understanding."
This reminds me of "H. P. G.," the initials of an Oxonian don, one of whose
'unpublications' ("which by far exceed the number of my publications") is, "Can
I Have A Pain In My Tail?"
I guess that if he is speaking from a personal point of view (or POV, as McEvoy
likes to acronym), he can't. But then H. P. G. would distinguish
between:
i. I have a pain in my tail.
and
ii. I seem to have a pain in my tail
(cfr. his "That British pillar box seems red to me; in fact, it _is_ red")
and proceed.
Cheers,
Speranza
