A fierce proponent is Karl Raimund Popper whose name the three worlds concept has been closely tied to. As regards the third world, Popper took an approach similar to Charles S. Peirce's, claiming that the product of the objective contents of a man's thoughts are fashioned after his very creation, which is ruled by his own existence. Subjectivity is the entity that mediates both one's external and spiritual world.

The interaction of World 1 and World 2
Interaction between World 1 and World 2 gives rise to the theory of Cartesian dualism, which avows that the universe is made of two main entities: Res Cogitans and Res Extensa. Popperian enthusiasts uphold the idea that physical and mental states exist and are pefectly capable of fully functioning interaction with one another.
The interaction of World 2 and World 3
The interaction of World 2 and World 3 is based on the theory that World 3 is partially autonomous. For example, the development of scientific theories in World 3 leads to unintended consequences, in that problems and contradictions are discovered by World 2. Another example is that the process of learning affects world 2 as world 3 expands its reaches.
The interaction of World 1 and World 3
World 3 contains all abstractions necessary to make sense of mathematical and physical laws. This means that the same objects which inhabit world 1 are wrapped around meaningful codes in world 3 and accessed through thought processes that allow said objects to be manipulated within the cognitive realm of human intellect.
