Query: Our Fundamental Physical Space: An Essay on the Metaphysics of the Wave
  Function   The mathematical structure of realist quantum theories has given rise to a
debate about how our ordinary 3-dimensional space is related to the
3N-dimensional configuration space on which the wave function is defined. Which
of the two spaces is our (more) fundamental physical space? I review the debate
between 3N-Fundamentalists and 3D-Fundamentalists and evaluate it based on
three criteria. I argue that when we consider which view leads to a deeper
understanding of the physical world, especially given the deeper topological
explanation from the unordered configurations to the Symmetrization Postulate,
we have strong reasons in favor of 3D-Fundamentalism. I conclude that our
evidence favors the view that our fundamental physical space in a quantum world
is 3-dimensional rather than 3N-dimensional. I outline lines of future research
where the evidential balance can be restored or reversed. Finally, I draw
lessons from this case study to the debate about theoretical equivalence.
