Reality is the overlap between our individual experiences.

February 9, 2023

Reality is the overlap between our individual experiences. This would include trees, birds, animals, insects, rocks, sun, ... This means there are many, many, many parts of experience which are real, but not part of Reality. What if *every* constituent member of Reality - all of the aforementioned and all of the multitudinous unnamed right down to atoms and molecules - what if all of them have a private realness known only to them? What if, like icebergs, the private real is the bigger portion?

I'm enraptured with this idea. It's not quite the same as what Schrodinger says below, but is inspired by it, and now I simply must read more.

"...here we knock against the arithmetical paradox; there appears to be a great multitude of these conscious egos, the world however is only one. This comes from the fashion in which the world-concept produces itself. The several domains of “private” consciousnesses partly overlap. The region common to all where they all overlap is the construct of the “real world around us.”
