Reality, philosophy: A. It is controversial, which should be counted to reality, that is to say, the set of objects and states which occur in the world. Theories differ strongly regarding the definitions of facts and situations or the consideration of internal states of subjects. Thus, a situation can be described in many ways, whereby very different assumptions about the involved objects and relations come into play. See also ontology, realism, recognition, epistemology, constructivism, facts, situations, internal/external, totality, relations, simulation. B.Reality is an expression for the totality of what is opposed to the perception of subjects and not only imagined. In this sense, reality is what is independent of us; on the other hand, some authors regard their formability as proof of their existence. See also dependence, independence, possibility, necessity, actualism, realism, idealism, constructivism, present, simulation, aboutness, circularity, objects, things, order.

Not sufficient: the reality of the operation - this is a blind spot for itself.
Reese-Schäfer II 29
Blind spot: the distinction that was made for the purpose of observing, can not be perceived again. >Circle, >Blind spot.

Reality/Luhmann: So we have a fully observer-relative view, but this is mitigated by the fact that we say the system, which is observed also is observing itself.
