What are the Realities

TL;DR

This paper explores the concept of reality through models created by information systems in the universe, framing the question as an empirical one that can be investigated scientifically.

Contribution

It introduces a framework where the reality question is addressed via models generated by information gathering systems, linking philosophical inquiry with empirical science.

Findings

Reconceptualizes reality as a model-based construct.

Proposes empirical methods to test the nature of reality.

Connects philosophical questions with scientific observation.

Abstract

The question of what is real is familiar in physics. This paper addresses this question through the notions of reality in the models of of the world (schemata) that are created by the information gathering and utilizing systems (IGUSes) in the Universe. That way the question of what is real becomes an emperical quastion that can be answered by the standard scientific methods of observation and test.
