In philosophy, reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined. In a wider definition, reality includes everything that is and has been, whether or not it is observable or comprehensible. A still more broad definition includes everything that has existed, exists, or will exist.

The term reality means what actually exists, usually as opposed to what is imaginary or fictitious. Sometimes it is also opposed to the dream. This concept poses different questions both in science and in philosophy, relating to the ontological question of being. {{WpLink}}

Definition

Reality is the creative and evolutive process (Processes) by which what exists (Entities) produce what happens (Events) in the way it happens (Relations). So, Reality is a Process, an organized set/network of Relations (how happens) between Events (what happens) produced by Entities (what exists).

How what exists produce what happens in the way it happens (Ontology, Phenomenology and Dynamics).

At the same time, Reality is the ever-changing result of this same process, the Universe in Evolution. This process, from the expression the Primary Source, the source of the Process of Formation of Reality, the unitary, creative and evolutive, process through which the Force, the fundamental causal entity, precursor of all the derived forces that we observe in the Nature, expresses itself acting on the Field, the Acted, the precursor of the space-time and all the derived fields, produces the Elementary Action, the primary substance. From the organization of the Elementary Action, Information, the Structures of Information and the Forms evolve, the whole Reality incessantly emerges. In this process, without beginning and without end, the Operational agents, the functional derivatives of the fundamental agent, the Fundamental Force, incessantly carry out the formative work that produces the existence and the evolving form of the Universe.

Description

Reality is the everything. It includes the endless creative and evolutionary activity that incessantly construct the Universe, the temporal section of Reality that we call "present". Reality is the product of the "unitary" Process of Formation of Reality, whose emerging product, the Universe, incessantly evolves towards increasing levels of complexity, of the organization of Information.

The condition/property of existence refers not only to the material forms, but also to the immaterial forms that characterize the internal and external organization of living beings. In particular, we make reference to the set of relationships that build ecosystems, to the complex information that constitutes the instinctual, cultural, economic, psychological and social aspects of living beings, up to the thought and the peculiar creations of the human mind.

Reality is the whole. It includes the infinite creative and evolutionary activity that constantly builds up the Universe, the incessantly evolves towards increasing levels of complexity, of organization of the Information..

Reality has no sense or finality other than the manifestation of the Primary Source itself in every possible Forms.

Reality shows no limits in the causal, spatial and temporal dimensions; it includes every event, every form, everything that exists, has existed and will exist:

  • the past, as the set of causes that act,
  • the present, as the Universe in evolution,
  • the future, as a set of potentialities, the 'possible causal adjacent', subject to the incessant exploration by the co-evolutives (cooperative and competitive) processes that build up the Universe.

With respect to the considered domain of Reality, we can identify the following:

This distinction between Physical Reality, Metareality and Meta-metareality has an exclusively descriptive value. Reality, as mentioned above, it is the result of a unitarian process in a causal, spatial and temporal sense. More in general, we can intend these as formative domains.
