The phenomenon of collective experience

[tobes]

Buddhism doesn't say reality is a homogenous blob without order and predictability, but that it is fractal, with each point referencing every other point. We can only describe things by referencing other things within self-imposed limitations. You can't describe what "actually happened" without being in a continual state of description for all time unless you impose some kind of boundary. But that boundary itself only applies to other boundaries and so on.

I actually think there are alot of good answers in this thread. But perhaps it was be easier to clarify this discussion if you could explain what you consider 'real' and what you consider illusory. Like give an example of something that is real and something that is not.
