also compare to NATURE
 
<b>Reality</b> is the state of things as t<b>hey actually exist,</b> rather than <b>as they may appear or may be thought to be</b>.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-0">[1]</a></sup> In its widest definition, reality includes everything that is and has <a title="Being" href="/wiki/Being">being</a>, whether or not it is <a title="Observation" href="/wiki/Observation">observable</a> or <a title="Comprehension (logic)" href="/wiki/Comprehension_(logic)">comprehensible</a>.
 
phenomenon (Greek)  means  "that which appears"
 
(Bob:  <b>the ENTIRE PHENOMENAL WORLD in each of us is a CARTOON)</b>
 
As I look at the world at any given instant, am I seeing reality?  NO...
just a hugely filtered cartoon of reality:
what's left out (that I know of)...   all the other EM wavelengths;  microscopic phenomena
(both the known and the unknown)
 
I lay my concepts of the world onto what I see...  a consensus reality.</p>
