Reality presents to us in multiple forms, as a layered pyramid. Physics is the foundation, and should be made as solid and complete as possible. More organized levels stand on this fundamental level—chemistry, biology, psychology, social sciences etc. Suppose we will find the unified theory of the fundamental physical laws. Will we then be able to deduce the higher levels, or they have their own life, not completely depending on the foundations? At the higher levels we see goals, life, and even consciousness, which seem to be more than mere constructs of the fundamental constituents. Are all these high level structures completely reducible to the basis, or by contrary, they affect in turn the lower levels? Are mathematics and logic enough to solve these puzzles? Are there questions that objective science cannot even define rigorously? Why is there something rather than nothing? What is the world made of? What is consciousness?.

I propose a gentle reconciliation of Quantum Theory and General Relativity. It is possible to add small, but unshackling constraints to the quantum fields, making them compatible with General Relativity. Not all solutions of the Schrodinger's equation are needed. I show that the continuous and spatially separable solutions are sufficient for the nonlocal manifestations associated with entanglement and wavefunction collapse. After extending this idea to quantum fields, I show that Quantum Field Theory can be defined in terms of partitioned classical fields. One key element is the idea of integral interactions, which also helps clarifying the quantum measurement and classical level problems. The unity of Quantum Theory and General Relativity can now be gained with the help of the partitioned fields' energy-momentum. A brief image of a General Relativistic Quantum Standard Model is outlined.
