I hope that some of the “new” parts from what you are trying to convey are
“reality” itself is just a perception and an inference
and
The reality you perceive in real objects is a property of the map, not the territory.
They are not new, by any means, but the idea that “reality” can be perceived more or less by “Direct Observation” seems to hinder a lot of discourse here. The territory may be hiding in the mist somewhere, but we have to contend with the observation that our perception, logic etc. are models all the way down. And different stacks of models end up inferring completely different “realities,” as we constantly observe, but anti-memetically ignore.
