nature of reality
What truly is
The nature of reality is what exists fundamentally and how it works—the deep structure underlying appearances.
Philosophy, physics, and religion all grapple with it: Is the nature of reality physical, mental, or something else entirely?
The phrase signals inquiry into existence itself rather than particular facts about the world.
