Bruno et al.: I don't feel comfortable with the view "reality *OF* something". Reality IMO is the unfathomable existence (whatever that may be) and *WE - machines, mind,* you
name it are having access to portions that we interpret (realize?) in ways *we can.* This portion (part, view, ensemble, whatever) is our *perceived reality *which may be 'physical', 'numbers', 'faith', what *WE deem (our) REALITY.* Within such we may accept certain items as *"real"*, what does not make them *THE REALITY* only accepted aspects in our perception. The TOE may be pertinent to the 'reality', from the view of that particular 'theory' - in the case of this list: physical-mathematical aspects.
