Reality

 

There are a couple of reasons for not wanting to write about reality.

For one, many would say it's a deep rabbit hole and going down it

is pointless. To which I guess I say, pointless is as pointless does. 

Two would be, fiction is more profitable.

Nevertheless, what might it mean this idea of reality?   Well,

it seems that the direct idea is what is apprehended.  That does

presupposed a apprehending method or device, and it is often

okay to just say mind.  Reality is apprehended by mind.  So

one way of looking at it, is the connection between mind and

reality.  I'm not going to do that.

I am simply going to get into two different approaches to dealing

with reality.  The first describes reality as being built up of

smaller bits of what I am going to call, reals.  This is really quite

a popular approach, because if you grind it up into bits, those

bits are a littler easier to consider.  The other very powerful notion

connected to this approach is, these bits tend to behave in more

predictable ways.  Understanding these predictable behaviors and

interactions makes the totality appear to be a good deal more predictable,

which on the whole it doesn't always seem to be.

Another approach to this idea of reality is that reality is not so much

a collection of things as a collection of processes.  Some of these

processes may be a bit more predictable, but the overall view of

reality , I think appears a little less definite.

I can't really say what the best way of looking at reality is, or I can't

pick one way over the other because, they do have a curious way

of spilling over , that is a bit of processes goes into the more solid

perspective and a bit of the notions of ground bits goes into the other.

They kind of slosh back and forth a bit.

Now for the hard part, the summary and the point of all that.  

Well, as I say it's hard to choose between the two perspectives,

but I would guess, I have to say that in a practical way there is

a process going on. For example an argument for this is that

the apprehending device, the mind, in general, has the capacity to

ignore, and therefore, there are hunks of reality that we might

not be aware of , or choice to be ignorant of.   That of course

only works so long.  Eventually, we start to brush up against

inconsistencies in experience, which cause us to examine

a good deal of what we might ignore.  And there are things

we don't know, but would like to know, as well.

Therefore, in the that context it does appear to be a process and 

I would just finally suggest, a continuous process.
