Abstract
What is fundamental? In reply, we derive quantum theory from the premiss of true local realism, the union of true locality and true realism. (True locality insists that no influence propagates superluminally, after Einstein. True realism insists that some existents may change interactively, after Bohr.) The truth of our premiss (its consequents agree with quantum theory and observation) advances modern science (and common sense) by exposing more realistic fundamentals. Much remains to be done — but we are surely at the end of beginning.
