Eliminative structural realism is in line with mereological nihilism. This contrasts with reconciliatory, noneliminativist versions of structural realism, such as rainforest realism, which aim to accommodate quotidian ontology. Recently, the ordinary object ontology of rainforest realism has been defended by drawing on cognitive sciences. This paper critically examines philosophical arguments and scientific evidence, particularly from predictive processing, to argue that these sources do not support the ontology of ordinary objects but instead favour an organism-oriented form of eliminativist structural realism.
