De-finitions

Reality

Mirriam-Webster says:

2a1) a real event, entity, or state of affairs (his dream became a reality).

2a2) the totality of real things and events (trying to escape from reality).

2b) something that is neither derivative nor dependent but exists necessarily.

3) television programming that features videos of actual occurrences (as a police chase, stunt, or natural disaster) — often used attributively (reality TV).

In reality: in actual fact

Hmm...M-W's definition seems to be more accurate in describing monoreality. -loadstool

"Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one." (Albert Einstein) Perhaps, but it begs the question: what is an illusion? Is is possible that 'reality' is merely what we individually assume to be real and that which has an effect of our person/mind/soul/personality/body? So the illusion is the reality is the illusion...Thoughts? ~Ceridwen

"A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts...A graphical representation of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the non-space of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding..." ~Neuromancer

Knock knock. Who's there? A bundled collection of perceptions. Knock it off, Hume!

Reality can really be anything. What we perceive it to be or what each person wants it to be is what it is. If someone is mentally insane they have a different "reality" than everyone else. How are we so sure they are WRONG and we are RIGHT? - Lifeaswethinkweknowit
