In what non-trivial way does it restrict perspectives? To me, it was always a shorthand. A linguistic tool of sorts, not unlike explaining geometry with drawings (you don't need them, and they aren't more than crude approximations of the real thing). I'm genuinely curious about your reasons, though I'm gonna get fussy if it's going to be "things thus far unexplainable by it cannot be explained by it."The only thought I have at the moment is that looking at the universe in a hardware/software model seems to restrict perspectives a bit.
