HHhm, DO I take it this implies "virtual" realities to accept the reality of a 1st, 2nd and 3rd person for what standard knowledge accepts only 3rd person 'detached observer' impersonal? I don't quite know how virtual that is as that "social consensus reality", which is not a consensus at all most of the time, nor any kind of reality, is an already accepted virtual reality taken dogmatically to be a real reality, which it is not, etc blahh. So how far up a gumtree of abstraction are you?
