Primitive ontology (PO) approaches to quantum theory aim to describe the world in terms of matter distributed in 3-space (the PO). David Albert argues they cannot recover macroscopic structure without ad hoc coarse-graining (“squinting”). This paper formalises a Macro-Object Problem for the PO-approach based on Albert’s critique and enlists Contextual Bohmian Mechanics (CBM) to offer a solution. CBM augments the PO with a local context field \(\Lambda (x,t)\) . While \(\Lambda\) is fixed, the wavefunction \(\Psi\) evolves unitarily and the particles Q follow a Bohmian guidance law; when \(\Lambda\) changes on a bounded region R, a local completely positive instrument updates the state, with open-system energy bookkeeping and statistical locality outside R. I show that \(\Lambda\) tiles spacetime into macro-object tokens, modulates the dynamics to confer genuine causal powers, and does so entirely within 3-space—thereby satisfying all the conditions for solving the Macro-Object Problem. I argue that physical objects are hylomorphic composites of both matter (hylē) and form (morphē), with matter corresponding to the particles and \(\Lambda\) serving as a rigorous surrogate for local form.
