From the viewpoint of positivist philosophy, however, one cannot determine what is
real. All one can do is find which mathematical models describe the universe we live in. It turns out that a mathematical model involving imaginary time predicts not only effects we have already observed but also effects we have not been able to measure
yet nevertheless believe in for other reasons. So what is real and what is imaginary? Is the distinction just in our minds?

The positivist philosophical position holds that what is experienced is real and justified to talk about. End of story.
Their views about modeling and logic are only an outgrowth of a general view that experience is made up of atoms (analogous to logical atoms) which can be put together in a variety of ways. In this regard, they find their roots in Locke, Berkeley, and Hume but derive immediate justification from the early Wittgenstein and Bertrand Russell's early work in his logic years.

Do you have anything other than assertion which proves that you, 'Mr. Cropper' exist in some way beyond the truth values established by experience? Of course not, the very word 'exists' only has sense and establishes truth value because of how it is applied by a linguistic community which establishes conditions for truth (namely, 'such and such' experiences, described 'thus and so')

Immanuel Kant - top fella. His epistemology was far superior (and reasonable) than Rand's. His moral theories were pretty good, too.
Stop parroting. Please.

So, Why didn't the bastard do us all a favor and quietly commit sepuku?

Thanks for this... but I can sum it up in 4 words that are true, but you aren't allowed to say: KANT IS A TOOL

I don't speak French but I totally understand what you said. You're right on
What in the HELL are you talking about?!? WHEN was this a central claim of the positivists OR pragmatists and who are what you call the 'neo-mystics'?
