Brilliantly stated and expressed. There is a basic distinction between the ‘real’ and the ‘actual’. The real is relational and ‘hidden’ beneath the surface of the ‘interface’ we have evolved to maximize the likelihood of our temporarily physically embodied existence. So what we perceive as actual is a ‘construction’ based on our sensations in the moment put together by our human species-specific evolved interface with what is ‘outside’ of us. It hides the relational reality the way what is on the screen of the computer hides what is really going on in the precisely controlled flow of electrons in its hardware. It is useful to make a distinction between the ‘actuality’ that is constructed for us and the relational reality that is hidden beneath which is not sensed but can be felt emotionally. This is the work of cognitive neuroscientist, Donald Hoffman. It ultimately comes down to a distinction between this hidden continual flow of time and the discontinuity necessarily built into what we perceive as ‘actual’. And the work of Iain McGilchrist suggests that we have one hemisphere—the left usually—that constructs this discontinuous ‘actuality’, what the other—typically the right—connects to the continually unfolding hidden relational reality that arises in the ‘quantum substratum’ that is hidden us but which is accessible emotionally. So there is a fundamental difference between the ‘explicate’ actuality on the surface and the underlying ‘implicate’ reality hidden beneath.

Her books for the lay public that describe the principles of the physics are really helpful.

Our senses can only detect narrow wavelengths of energy. The idea that we actually know what is going on seems preposterous to me
