    This is not about identification. I am a human (which is not a social construct) which exists in the real world. Statistical models don’t exist in an onthological sense.

        They don’t exist in an onthological sense, yes. (They are completely deontological; they don’t exist in the real world via representation, like vectors or matrices)
