In practice I find “reality”
works for whatever hypothetical
encompasses the cosmos. It seems

to be able to be framed or looked at
almost any number of ways. Even people

who conceive reality radically differently
can often interact quite seamlessly, each

finding a place
within their own frame
for what the other sees and says.

They differ, agree and interject, 
interplay. They criticize fundamentally 
- but for all their see and say, each seems 
to locate it all in reality.

Oh, some of what the other says 
they locate in illusion, delusion, deceit 
- these concepts are realer than anything
to one who must needs proceed ruling-out
so neat. 

In short we use reality 
to negotiate the difference 
between our frames. It works, 
since each is keen to show 
the superior fit of their frame 
to it. Reality wins all arguments
into which anyone lets any fit.
