Apply Occam's Razor to Models in the Teaching

A man asks about the Mary and Jane metaphor. Is there a way for us to know if we are Jane or Claire (an appearance within Jane's mind, whom Rupert invented during the previous questioner exchange)? Rupert replies, that all his models are not ultimately accurate. We have to apply Occam's Razor to our models, to build a model based on our actual experience. We can go there intellectually, but we are more interested in experiential understanding. We want a model that takes us to reality, to evoke, in Cezanne words, 'the taste of nature's eternity.'
