My problem lately has been our use of the term "reality".  I think we tend to discuss reality as though it is a dynamic entity.  We have been discussing how it is ambiguous because each person's brain constructs it as something different.  I still firmly believe though that reality is a permanent fixture.  Each of us may perceive it differently because of lateral inhibition, etc., but reality is, and will always be no matter how any of us perceive it, reality.  What I mean is that reality acts kind of like an asymptote, and what we see is the curve that is trying to approach that asymptote.  Like the curve, what we see will never touch or cross the asymptote (or be identical to the true reality), but our brain/I-function attempts to come as close to it as possible, filling in all the necessary spaces and gaps.  So, my point is that before we dismiss reality because of every human's varying perception of it, remember that there is an actual reality, or certainty, that exists...even though none of us see it for what it actually is.  I hope this makes sense to someone...I will try to to re-explain it if necessary.
