I started watching an interview with McGilchrist about the work in question, there was no physics, just a boatload of philosophy.

It turns out I don't need physics to be interpretable, just a workable predictive tool.

Fair enough. According to his thesis, the metaphysics/philosophy aspect of this stuff is in a right hemisphere bucket. While there may be reason to meditate on that if you’re a researcher wanting to gain better intuition, if you want to use physics as a tool, the aspects useful to the left hemisphere are all you need/the thesis is irrelevant.
