Layers of reality

Reality appears through what we can see and touch, while also taking shape through
nature, life, information, symbols, relationships, social systems, and the technologies humans create.

Some layers already exist around us.
Others emerge through choices, actions, and the ways different elements affect one another.
Beyond them are hypotheses about forms of existence or realities outside the range of direct human perception.

Reality Layers brings together writings that move across these domains, from familiar phenomena
to hypotheses and interpretations still being studied, developed, and debated.
