What is real? There are strong indications that what we experience as reality is an ilusion generated by what is usually refered to as the subconscious.
One could argue that knots are more real than numbers. It is hard to find two equal looking apples and talk about two apples, because it requires the abstraction that the apples are equal, while it is obvious that they are not. While, I guess, we all have had the experience of strugling with untying knots in strings.
It’s more than strong indications. What any individual life form perceives is a unique subset or projection of reality. To the extent that “one true reality” exists, we are each viewing part of it through a different window.
