The historical debate between Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein is often presented as anirreducible metaphysical opposition between contextualism and realism. We argue that itshould instead be understood as a conflict between implicit ontological frameworks, eachrationally defensible within the descriptive space available at the time. The central thesisdefended here is independent of any specific physical theory: the Bohr–Einstein tension isnot principled, but structural. Extended descriptive frameworks are introduced solely inan illustrative capacity, to show that a conceptual resolution is logically possible withoutcontradicting the established results of quantum mechanics.
