That order emerges as a structure of chance fundamentally implies that reality is a function of non-reality or that truth is a function of fiction rather than the other way around. Reality isn't cleanly divided substances but a continuum from "nothing" to "extant".

The more extant something is the more self-defined and delineated it is, the less extant something is the less self-defined and delineated it is, and the delineating line between any two examples is arbitrary.

Non-extant things are still ontologically real, to the exact same degree that extant things are ontologically unreal. Consensus reality is a shared system of names for random cutouts. In a sense, unreality is pure potential, the total possibility space of all things.
